Dutch police said on Monday they were looking for a 37-year-old Turkish man in connection with a shooting that is believed to have left at least three person dead.
Amsterdam:
“The police ask you to watch out for 37-year-old Gokman Tanis (born in Turkey) in connection with this morning’s incident,” a police statement said.
The Dutch government raised the terrorism threat level to the highest possible in the province of Utrecht on Monday following a shooting on a tram.
The National Anti-Terrorism Coordinator said it had raised alert level as the suspected shooter was still at large.
