BERLIN (AP) — A section of highway in southern Germany was closed because of an incident involving an apparently armed passenger on board a bus. Police later said later Tuesday that they arrested a suspect. Apart from the passenger, only the two drivers were still on board the vehicle on Tuesday evening. All other passengers were out of the bus and on the side of the highway. A police negotiating team was deployed and the A9 highway was closed in both directions between Hilpoltstein and Greding, south of Nuremberg in Bavaria. Police moved in late Tuesday evening and arrested a suspect. They couldn’t immediately say whether anyone was hurt in the process.
