Forgot to duck

Chinese police have shot and killed a bus hijacker in northwest China after he took a group of Australian tourists hostage.
Media reports from Australia and China say the man was armed with explosives and took ten Australian tourists and their translator hostage. Nine were later released and China's official Xinhua news agency says police shot and killed the hostage-taker after negotiations failed, securing the release of a 48-year old Australian woman.
Xinhua says the standoff lasted about two hours and took place in the center of Xian city in China's Shanxi province.
