Armed Man Arrested After Hostage Standoff in Dutch Nightclub
A suspect has been arrested after allegedly taking hostages at a bar in the Dutch town of Ede, prompting the evacuation of about 150 homes. The assailant's motive is unclear, and there is no indication of terrorism. Three hostages were released earlier in the day, and the final hostage, believed to be an employee cleaning the bar, was let go later. The suspect, known to the judiciary and previously convicted of a crime, brandished multiple knives and had a backpack whose contents remain unclear. Authorities will now investigate the suspect's motive and mental state.
