How brave is this?

Via Daily Telegraph:

AS HIS eyes started to close around 2am today, the hostages inside Lindt Cafe in Martin Place realised this may be their best chance to escape their armed captor.

After 17 hours, fake sheik Man Haron Monis began to nod off when the 12 remaining hostages staged what in police parlance is a “bomb burst”. They all ran together for the exit.

In those vital last seconds, Monis “came too and realised what was going on,” sources close to the siege have revealed to The Daily Telegraph.

With his shotgun already in his hands, he began shooting.

Across the road at the Channel Seven offices, a police sniper called out: “Hostage down. Window Two.”

It is understood that hostage was hero Tori Johnson, 34, who was killed as he tried to grapple the gun from Monis.

Here’s a picture of Tori Johnson at the Lindt Cafe grand opening:
