One person died and a second was injured in a shooting in a residential area of Schiedam on Saturday. Police are looking for three suspects who fled after the incident.
According to police, the shooting took place at around 5pm on Weverpad in the Woudhoek district. One person died despite resuscitation attempts, NLnow reports, citing police. A second victim was injured.
According to the police information available, three suspects fled on foot. No one had been arrested at that point. Police searched the area and launched an extensive forensic investigation.
Police have called on witnesses to come forward and provide footage, for example from security cameras or phones. Nothing official has yet been announced about the identities of the victims, the suspected motive or the identities of the suspects.
The shooting took place in a residential area, but police have reported no indication of a broader threat to the surrounding area. That does not mean the investigation is complete; the circumstances and the relationship between those involved still have to be established.
The case is therefore primarily an ongoing criminal investigation. Until arrests or court decisions are made, the three people being sought can only be described as suspects. Police are expected to provide more information once doing so will not harm the investigation.
