Tragedy this week in Australia when 17 people were taken hostage and held for up to 16 hours at the Lindt Cafe in Martin Place, Sydney. Tori Johnson and Katrina Dawson died, and three people were injured. The siege rocked the country and beyond, and tributes continued to flow throughout the week. Our heartfelt sympathies to all those impacted by this tragic event.
