SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) — Police say an armed Uzbek man has taken eight hostages, including the ambassador, at the Russian Embassy in Costa Rica.
Security forces quickly surrounded the building in San Jose, the capital, police spokesman Francisco Ruiz said. Authorities were trying to negotiate with the gunman.
Ruiz said the man, between 17 and 20 years old from Uzbekistan, entered the embassy with his mother and took Ambassador Valery Nikolayenko and four other men and three women hostage. Police were considering the mother a hostage.
The Costa Rica TV network, Telenoticias, reported that the man was apparently upset over the embassy’s failure to process some undetermined paperwork.
Telenoticias said the man and his family have lived in Costa Rica for about a year.
