Three captives bolted out of a fire exit door about six hours after the drama began. A short time later two more people -- both apparently women who work at the cafe -- made a successful run for it. The gunman entered the cafe in the heart of Sydney`s financial and shopping district at the height of the Monday morning rush hour.
