No confirmation of deaths or injuries.

Another update from SMH reporter James Robertson, at the bottom of Mrrtin Place about 150 metres from the scene: "The exchange was started by three discrete bangs. The first brought about five people from the building. A space followed between the subsequent two and then a near-continuous volley rang out. Dozens of shots."

2 people carried from cafe.
