MAN HOLD BUS HOSTAGE IN HONG KONG

The drama in the Philippines starts when a disgruntled ex-policeman hijacks a busload of Hong Kong tourists and ends when the suspect dies in a gunfight with police after firing on the hostages.
In a desperate act to regain his job, a disgruntled ex-police officer Monday hijacked a busload of Hong Kong tourists in Manila, prompting a 12-hour drama that ended with eight captives and the suspect being killed, authorities said.

the suspect, former police Capt. Rolando Mendoza, 55, was killed by a sniper shot near the front door of the bus, where he staked out a last-stand battle with 30 police commandos, who moved in with tear gas and flash bombs. He injured one sniper before he was killed, police said.
Not a good way to get your job back asshole.
