Three persons hurt in gunshot at Dutch summer funfair

After a gunshot in the Netherlands, three individuals were hurt.

According to authorities, the incident took place tonight during a summer funfair in the Dutch port city of Rotterdam.

Officers opened fire on the shooter numerous times.

The shooter and the victims were both injured and taken to a hospital.

It’s unclear how seriously injured they are, though.

According to a different statement from the police, a shooting had occurred at the same event earlier in the day.

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.
