Rio bus station kidnapper surrendered, hostages unharmed. The hostages, among whom were children and elderly people, are safe and sound.
Two people were shot and injured by the kidnapper "outside" the bus, he said earlier. In 2000, a hostage-taking of bus passengers in a residential area left two people dead. More recently, in 2019, a man was killed by police after holding around thirty bus passengers hostage on the huge bridge linking Rio de Janeiro to the town of Niteroi.
