Heavily armed police are surrounding a nightclub in a rural Dutch town southeast of Amsterdam after reports that a gunman is holding several people hostage.
The hostages were being held in Cafe Petticoat, a popular bar and nightclub in Ede, according to an AP videographer at the scene.
A party was held at the establishment last night and was scheduled to finish at 4am this morning, according to a post on Facebook.
Images from the scene in Ede, a rural market town 53 miles southeast of Amsterdam, showed police and firefighters on the streets.
Earlier Saturday, officers cordoned off a square in central Ede and evacuated about 150 nearby homes.
Details about the suspect are unclear but reports have suggested they entered the club armed with explosives and other weapons.
