of heavily armed police stormed a downtown cafe where a gunman had been
holding an unknown number of people.
A police spokesman confirmed “the operation is over” early Tuesday but would not release any further details.

officers and at least two other people were wheeled out on stretchers.–Kristen Gelineau
