Attentat in Utrecht Tram mit Toten und Verletzten

March 18, 2019 - Ein bewaffneter Mann schoss in der Tram in Utrecht, Niederlande, auf eine Frau und dann auf die Leute, die helfen wollten. Es gibt einige Tote und Verletzte. Es dürfte sich nicht, wie ursprünglich angenommen, um eine Terrorattacke handeln sondern um einen Familienstreit.

Police are looking for a 37-year-old Turkish man named as Gokmen Tanis and have warned people not to approach him.

Schools have closed and security has been increased while counter-terrorism police work to find the gunman.

Local media reported that a gunman fled the scene after the attack, which took place around 10:45 a.m., and might have escaped in a car.

Authorities immediately raised the terror alert for the area to the maximum level, and the city's mayor said a "terror motive" was the most likely theory. Dutch military police went on extra alert at Dutch airports and at key buildings in the country as the Utrecht manhunt took place.
