In horrifying videos, large groups of people can be seen frantically fleeing the scene of the tragedy.

An extensive emergency reaction was captured in a second video taken from above the area.

As paramedics hurry to help, dozens of police officers can be seen enforcing a perimeter around the scene of the event.

The shootings, according to Dutch police, happened in Coolsingel, a street in the heart of Rotterdam.

Today, the city was host to the Zomercarnaval, a Dutch Caribbean carnival.

One of the largest street parties in all of Europe, as the saying goes.

There is currently a sizable police cordon around the area, with red and white tape preventing entrance.

Additionally, there is a sizable police presence in the region.
