MANILA, Philippines - A dramatic hostage-taking in the Philippines capital ended with six bus passengers dead Monday after shots rang out and police stormed the vehicle.
The hostage-taker also died, police said.
Five hostages were brought to the Manila Hospital, two of them dead on arrival and three alive without injuries.
The Manila Doctors Hospital reported it received four dead and one woman in critical condition.
The incident started when a dismissed policeman armed with a M16 rifle seized the busload of Hong Kong tourists to demand his reinstatement in the force.
Police officer Roderick Mariano cited the Filipino driver who escaped moments before police surrounded the bus as saying the hostage-taker, identified as former Senior Inspector Rolando Mendoza, 55, opened fire at the tourists.
The gunman earlier released nine hostages , leaving 15 inside , and demanded his job back to free the rest.

Great day! The boys were raising money to go an a white water rafting adventure in August. Bottle drive on Saturday and car wash on Sunday. The folks at Hollyburn Funeral Home were incredibly accomodating providing their parking lot and water, and the patrons were incredible generous.
A bokeh shot of some Christmas lights on the trees at Confederation Park in Calgary. Heart shaped custom bokeh is overdone, but whatever... I didn't have the patience to cut out a more exotic shape to use.
Custom bokeh made using brown card, an exacto knife, and some tape. See more of this project on my blog.
I would love to live in a place like this. Mt Aspiring Station covers most of the Matukituki River Valley near Wanaka.
آسير بمشية الظالم وانا في داخلي مظلوم
آسير اضحك مع العالم بضحكة زيف مغبونه
آخآيل مركبي واقف ومن حوله حمام يحوم
عجز يبحر بوسط البحر ويتماشى مع لحونه
عرف بان البحر غدار كاسه دايمٍ مسموم
عرف بان البحر غدار مهما غرنا لونه...

The Aspire appears to be one of many rather generic small cars that seem rare around here for some reason.
"Pushing that dream, trying to beat the time
Oh well whatever nevermind
Nothing else matters when your knifing through traffic
Wishing it was a stickshift, it's an automatic
Listening to the road, voice of the nomad
How he'd love to leave drive away never go back
Wheels keep on turning, turning turning and turning
Alone is when he finally feels like a person
Light another Nat Sherman
Crack the window, feel the wind blow
Serenity tenfold"
Some more experimentation! Really happy with this one too.
