This is the best summary I could come up with:
EDE, Netherlands (AP) — Dutch police have detained a man who walked out of a nightclub where hostages were being held after a tense hours-long standoff.
Heavily armed police and special arrest teams, some wearing masks, were massed outside the popular club.
Video from the scene showed three young people walking out of the club with their hands in the air following their release.
Ede Mayor René Verhulst said in a statement that a hostage situation continued in the town despite the release.
The hostages were being held in Cafe Petticoat, a popular bar and nightclub in Ede, according to an AP videographer at the scene.
Images from the scene in Ede, a rural market town 85 kilometers (53 miles) southeast of Amsterdam, showed police and firefighters on the streets.
