One person was killed and two were injured in Rotterdam during an operation to detain murder suspects, police said, DPA reported, quoted by BTA.
There was an exchange of gunfire and one of the suspects was killed and another was injured. A third person who was in the apartment attacked by the police was also injured.
The operation aimed to detain murder suspects after a 33-year-old man was found shot dead in a basement in Amsterdam early last month. The murder was likely linked to a gang execution.
Today's operation in Rotterdam is the second of its kind in as many days. On Thursday night, investigators arrested a 24-year-old man they suspect is behind three deadly shootings in the city. Within two weeks, three men were shot on the street, with no apparent connection between the crimes. The police investigation into the motives for these killings is ongoing.
