Police fire warning shots during arrest in Someren
Police are investigating an overnight incident on Ter Hofstadlaan in which no one was injured.
Police fired warning shots during an arrest in Someren overnight from Friday into Saturday. According to public reports, a report had been received concerning a threat involving a firearm.
Officers went to Ter Hofstadlaan after the report was received. At the scene, an officer fired several shots with their service weapon, according to, among others, Upday and Reformatorisch Dagblad.
According to those reports, no one was injured. Police are investigating the case but have not yet provided a detailed explanation of the circumstances, the arrest or the person involved.
Some news headlines state that a car is said to have driven into an officer. That account could not be independently confirmed in the freely accessible reporting checked for this article.
When police use firearms, it is generally investigated whether the officer used force in accordance with the applicable rules. The sources checked made no mention of any investigation by the Rijksrecherche or of a decision to prosecute.
Until police release further facts, it remains unclear exactly what happened and why the officer fired. The person involved is therefore not described as the perpetrator.
