A gunman opened fire with an automatic weapon at a shopping mall outside Amsterdam yesterday, leaving at least six people dead, including the gunman himself, a Dutch mayor said.
There were also 16 people wounded in yesterday's attack at the Ridderhof mall in the suburb of Alphen aan den Rijn, 25 kilometers southwest of Amsterdam. Mayor Bas Eenhoorn said the gunman later fatally shot himself.
A witness identified as Maart Verbeek told state broadcaster NOS the attacker had a machine gun and that he had seen at least five people he believed were killed and numerous more wounded.
Dutch broadcaster NOS cited witnesses as saying the man later shot himself in the head with a second weapon, a pistol. Police could not immediately be reached to comment on the incident.
