ABC reported that two people were dead and three were in serious condition.

Seven people had been taken out of the Sydney cafe on stretchers, and five of them appeared to be receiving treatment immediately, the broadcaster reported.

The fate of the gunman, identified by an official with direct knowledge of the situation as Man Haron Monis, was unknown. It was also unknown if any police were injured.

Whether that is reliable I do not know of course. Given that they reported a lot of gunfire, it seems possible though, if there was a shootout instead of a quick takedown.
