Australian Gunman Marries During Hostage Drama Ends Standoff
Ex convict Wally Mellish abducted a girl and held her and newborn baby in a suburban Sydney cottage. A three hour siege ended with Mellish surrendering after marrying the girl’s sister in a wedding witnessed by police and guests. The incident followed failed ransom talks and a tense gun battle at 8 p.m. Wednesday when a shotgun and pistol were fired. Meanwhile Fort Wayne bricklayers ended a strike, allowing about $50 million in projects to resume after new contracts were reached.
