AMSTERDAM • Dutch prosecutors yesterday said they were investigating a possible terrorist motive behind the shooting on a tram in the city of Utrecht in which three people were killed and five wounded.
"Up to this point, a terrorist motive is seriously being considered," prosecutors said in a statement, citing"the nature of the shooting and a letter found in the getaway car"."Other motives are not being ruled out," the statement said. Flags flew at half mast on government buildings across the Netherlands yesterday in tribute to the victims as mourners laid flowers at the site of the attack.
"It's very sad things like this happen in the world these days," said accountant Rene van Nieuwenhuizen, who lives in Utrecht, a picturesque city of 340,000."I don't think it will happen to me but it happens and so people get killed." Tanis had previously been arrested, prosecutors said. There was no immediate comment from Tanis or any lawyer representing him.
