It's looking like the mass shooting in the Netherlands today may have been spurred by domestic violence rather than terrorism, but the investigation into the motive is still underway.
The family of the shooter said that he was targeting a family member and shot people who intervened.
A witness also told NOS that the gunman seemed to have targeted one woman in particular. The woman had been on the ground, and people were assisting her, said Daan Molenaar.
Molenaar said that he saw an armed man running towards the group. “It looked as if he wanted to attack her again, or maybe the people who helped her,” he said.
The suspect has a long rap sheet, NOS reported. Among other crimes such as shoplifting and property damage, he was convicted of attempted murder in 2013. He is also a defendant in a rape trial that started two weeks ago.
Three people were killed in the shooting attack and five were injured, three of whom remain in critical condition.
