Not know for certain if it was politically motivated:

Reports of multiple injuries. Already one fatality. Dutch have raised their terror alert to its highest level.

There’s already a thread, admittedly in the wrong forum (UK p&p). But, yes, it’s grim.

Can a moderator (FridgeMagnet ? editor?) merge the threads, please?

Approximately 83% of the population are not ethnically Dutch, most of them of being of Turkish and Moroccan origin. his unique political climate is one that shaped the views of one of its ex-residents, national politician Geert Wilders.[3]

Reports are now that someone has died, and that the gunman remains at large.

FFS.

There’s no further news being released as yet. News channels just got same footage on loop. It’s locked down in the area still. Three hours now.

 

[butchersapron]

Police have said: "We cannot confirm or deny that there might be multiple perpetrators. There's a manhunt to at least one shooter, everything else cannot be ruled out." + Residents and visitors in Utrecht should avoid the Tichelaarslaan because of a potential explosion risk.

 

[butchersapron]

Now released name etc of person they're after - a 37 year old turkish born bloke.

[Idris2002]

Shit.

 

[danny la rouge]

Appalling.

Pathetic cunt

Hunt for gunman in Dutch city of Utrecht

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Terrible news.

 

[butchersapron]

The car they were looking for that he jacked earlier has now been found (in the place they warned people not to go above due to fears of explosion) and there's an unattended suitcase near govt buildings they now fear may be rigged (edit: this latter now turned out be nothing at all).

 

[Sprocket.]

Unspecified reports of it being a targeted attack on a specific woman and others tried to intervene!

 

[butchersapron]

Main suspect nicked.

Lots of stuff from people suggesting non-terrorist stuff now. A revenge attack is the most commonly reported one.

3 dead per CNN.

What a fucking twat. All those lives lost for nothing.

Still on the upside, he'll have a nice long time in prison to mull over his stupidity and no doubt be regularly reminded of what a fucking pathetic loser he is.

If it’s just a domestic incident rather than terror, how long until the right wing nutsacks start hollering about it being a cover-up?
