Manila, Philippines (CNN) -- At least two tourists who were held hostage for more than 10 hours on a bus in the heart of the Philippines capital were killed Monday along with the gunman, police said.
At least seven of the hostages appear to have survived the hijacking. There were 15 hostages on the bus when police stormed it. Nine hostages and the driver had been released earlier. It was unclear if the other six are alive or dead.
Police boarded the gunman-controlled bus about 40 minutes after the driver left and said the hostage-taker had killed all those remaining on board, CNN's Anna Coren reported. The police retreated immediately, possibly after firing a shot into the bus, pictures from the scene showed.
Mendoza was wearing his uniform and carrying a rifle when he flagged down the tourist bus and asked for a ride, police spokesman Erwin Margarejo told reporters.
A tour guide for Hong Thai Travel tried to stop him from boarding the bus, the company's general manager told reporters.
康泰旅行社的导游试图阻止他登上这辆巴士，该旅行社总经理对记者说。
"The gunman said he wanted to have a free lift. Then the tour guide stopped him," general manager Susanna Lau said. "Eventually the gunman got on the coach and then asked the driver to lock the door."
Lau said the gunman did not threaten people on the bus.
Lau 说，枪手并没有威胁在车上的任何人。
The hostages were calm but confused, Margarejo said. Around 2 p.m. (2 a.m. ET), ANC showed images of signs posted on the bus windshield saying, "Big deal will start after 3 p.m. today" and "3 p.m. today dead lock."
But two hours later, there were no outward signs that the situation had changed.
但是，两个小时后，从外面再也看不到任何标志，情况也开始恶化。
Police cordoned off the area around the bus as they tried to negotiate, and sharpshooters were stationed nearby. Food was delivered to the hostages still on board.
警方封锁了巴士周围地带，并试图开始谈判。狙击手在附近就位。食物也被送给仍然留在车上的人质。
ANC showed passengers peeking out from behind curtains of the parked bus and a sign posted on the bus door saying, "Big mistake to correct a big wrong decision."
ANC的画面显示，乘客从停泊着的巴士窗帘后向外偷窥，巴士车门上的标语上写着。“错误的决定导致大错”
Mendoza was dismissed a year ago for misconduct unbecoming a police officer, he said.
Mendoza 在一年前因行为不当被解职。他说。
However, CNN affiliate ABS CBN said he was fired for extortion. The police have not confirmed the report.
但是，CNN的附属电视台ABS CBN称，他是因勒索被解职的。警方没有证实这条报道。
Six hostages from Hong Kong, China -- three women and three children -- were released, Margarejo said. Police chief Magtibay later said that three additional hostages had been released. At least one is a Philippines national, not a tourist, he said.
Police and the Philippines Red Cross assessed the hostages who were freed, sending some back to their hotels and continuing to interview others, Red Cross Secretary General Gwendolyn Pang told CNN.
Lau said the company has informed family members of the hostages about the situation.
Lau 说，旅行社已经向游客的家人通报了人质的情况。
Santiago said Mendoza's family members had also been speaking with him.
Santiago 说，Mendoza的家人也已经和他通话。
"As an individual, his responses so far have been very reasonable and very psychologically stable," he said.
他说，截止目前，他的回应尚算理性，而且心理状态稳定。
Hong Kong Secretary for Security Ambrose S.K. Lee told reporters that government officials were "very concerned" about the incident and had asked officials from the Chinese Embassy in Manila to help.
香港安全事务秘书Ambrose S.K. Lee 对记者说，香港政府官员对这次意外非常关切，并要求中国驻马尼拉大使馆提供协助。
"We have contacted the Philippine Consulate-General in Hong Kong and we requested that they should ensure the safety of the hostages and we also requested that the incident be resolved in a peaceful manner," he said.

为一直在电视机旁看着自己亲人的香港同胞心痛，尤其是传出车上15名旅客全部遇难的时候，刚才一直看电视，数着走下来的人，多希望能15个人全部自己走下来
刚看七点多的新闻的时候还没有结果呢！不会吧？
7名人质被杀。
是呀！刚看中国新闻，说七名遇难，四人受伤，其中二人重伤。另外二人安全！
7死8伤(2重伤).
菲律宾垃圾部队！
菲律宾警察就是傻，什么条件都答应先，等枪手放了人在说，不就是复职吗？
这要在中国，趁他放人开门时，一枪就搞定了，机会多多啊。
香港给菲利宾旅行警示到黑色！

疑问：广场上不会就中国人在游玩吧，应该也有外国人吧，怎么就选择香港的旅行团????
唉~~~菲国警察处事真的不怎的，而且这么大的事菲总统竟然不出来交代事件，香港政府找他人也找不到，真晕
看了CCTV的画面，感觉菲律宾警察都没有做好强攻的准备，前门有个警察还去拉门，拉不开了又退回去，换谁是劫匪都会发狂开枪了
恐怖的事件，但更可悲的是当地政府的无能
我们还计划11月去科隆潜水，现在有点害怕，都不敢在马尼拉呆了
哎！对于那些所谓特警，真是没话说。从开始强攻到击毙劫匪居然用上30分钟以上。100个人质都不够死！！！看他们那些愚笨的做法，回想咱们一个多月前广州特警几秒击毙劫持人质歹徒的事情，作为马尼拉首都特警真是一点技术含量都没有啊！
想不到呀，今天早上知道有香港游客被劫持，还想着应该只是作为筹码谈一下条件而已，最终还是应该会被安全释放的，因为那是外国游客嘛，要杀也不能杀外国游客呀。想不到那个变态的杀手居然如此恶劣。
那个解救手段真的令人瀑布汗，还拿着个锤在那慢慢敲，那不是救人吧，分明是逼劫持者杀害人质呀。曝露了菲律宾的政府和警察相当无能。国际形象跌到谷低了
菲律宾所谓的警察简直在草菅人命！游客都是被菲政府跟警察害死的！
相信劫持是个突发事件，只是个个案，在外旅游都难免这样的意外，担心不了这么多；
但暴露了菲律宾政府和所谓的警察的无能与腐败，却是最令人担忧的，这样的国度令我心有余悸。。。
看了凤凰网的一个调查，对赴菲律宾旅游的影响，你会去吗？
A、会 0.7%
B、不会，短期内都不会了 35%
C、不会，永远都不会去了 56%
D、没想好 8.3%

他M的
一群 菲利宾SB.
哪有这样救人.
是在逼死人.
是一个匪徒吗???
看到新闻，为遇难者痛心，致哀！
