Dutch police said a gunman killed a teacher and a local woman after opening fire in a classroom at a university hospital campus in Rotterdam and a nearby house on Thursday.
The 32-year-old suspect, a university student, fatally shot a 39-year-old woman living in his neighbourhood and seriously injured her 14-year-old daughter, police said in a televised news conference.

Gunman captured. No motive, 14 year old may have succumbed to her wounds.
The three black people killed by a white gunman in what authorities have said was a racially-motivated hate crime at a Dollar General store in Florida, were identified Sunday — including a 19-year-old employee who was shot dead as he tried to escape.
Teenage store worker AJ Laguerre was named as one of the victims gunned down by racist “maniac” Ryan Palmeter, 21, who targeted the Jacksonville shop Saturday afternoon, armed with a Glock pistol and an AR-15 style rifle bedecked with swastikas, authorities said.
The Biden administration has already put nearly 2,000 gun sellers out of business in just two years. Just a few years ago, a lawsuit helped drive the 200-year-old Remington Arms into bankruptcy. But activists won’t stop suing gun shops and anyone else that comes close to the industry.
Last week, attorneys from Everytown Law, the legal arm of Michael Bloomberg’s gun-control group Everytown for Gun Safety, filed a lawsuit against a shop that sold the gun used in the fatal shooting of 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, in May 2022. The murderer is a racist who specifically targeted racial minorities. Everytown claims the attack “could have been prevented,” but in fact, the gun seller performed all of the proper background checks.
Survivors of a 2022 mass shooting at Buffalo, New York, are suing social media giants and gun vendors in a rare pair of lawsuits that are likely to test the limits of the legal privileges afforded to both Silicon Valley and the firearms industry.
One lawsuit was filed on Wednesday at the Erie County state supreme court. It alleges that the social media giants Reddit and YouTube “transformed and addicted” the shooter, Payton Gendron, by showing him racist videos and blogs. Gendron was sentenced to life in prison earlier this year after he murdered 10 people at a Tops grocery store at Buffalo, all of whom were Black.
“Democracy Dies in Darkness” is the (sometimes ironic) slogan of The Washington Post.
But it’s also a fair description of what’s happening in Tennessee, as the state Legislature is being called to a special session even as local and federal officials withhold information that might be critical to its decision-making.
Gov. Bill Lee ordered the special session to begin Aug. 21 in response to a March 27 mass shooting in which three adults and three children at the Covenant School, a Christian school in Nashville’s Green Hills neighborhood, were killed.
The efforts of parents and Nashville community members to stop the release of Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale’s writings, if successful, would be an unprecedented move that could have bigger implications going forward, an open-government expert told The Post.
Tennessee’s victims’ rights statute does not give individuals a “carte blanche” to veto other laws, such as the one that allows people the right to public records, said Deborah Fisher, executive director of the Tennessee Coalition for Open Government.
A jury has found a gunman who murdered 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue is eligible for the death penalty.
Robert Bowers, 50, was found guilty last month for the October 2018 attack.
This was the second stage of the trial. It now moves on to its final phase, sentencing selection.
The same jury will have to decide if Bowers should receive life in prison or be sentenced to death for carrying out the deadliest antisemitic attack in US history.
Instead, they’re described as “white supremacist,”“white nationalist,” and “racist.”
Last Friday, a federal judge sentenced the El Paso Walmart mass murderer, who killed 23 people and wounded another 22, to 90 consecutive life sentences. He still faces additional charges from Texas, where he could receive the death penalty.
EL PASO, Texas — A white gunman who killed 23 people in a racist attack on Hispanic shoppers at a Walmart in a Texas border city was sentenced Friday to 90 consecutive life sentences but could still face more punishment, including the death penalty.
Patrick Crusius, 24, pleaded guilty earlier this year to nearly 50 federal hate crime charges in the 2019 mass shooting in El Paso, making it one of the US government’s largest hate crime cases.

The suspected Philadelphia mass shooter told police that his deadly rampage earlier this week was an attempt to fight the city’s gun violence crisis.
Police say 40-year-old Kimbrady Carriker wore a bulletproof vest and was armed with two ghost guns – an AR-15-style rifle and a handgun – as he stalked an area spanning several blocks in the Kingsessing section of Philadelphia, where he allegedly shot seven people, killing five of them.
Carriker, a cross-dresser obsessed by guns, was taken into custody 10 minutes after police arrived on the scene and was arraigned Wednesday on five counts of murder.
The rifle-wielding suspect who donned a bulletproof vest before allegedly shooting dead five men and injuring two children in Philadelphia has been identified as a Black Lives Matter supporter who shared gun-toting memes on social media.
Kimbrady Carriker, 40, was nabbed shortly after the bloodshed in the city’s Kingsessing neighborhood Monday night, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported, citing sources.
Cops haven’t yet publicly disclosed the suspect’s identity.
