4 killed (include victim) is comfirmed by Dutch police.
6 killed confirmed, including perp
sincere condolences
very sad news my heart goes out to the family's affected.......
So sorry to hear of the shootings. I must also point out that this is one of the most reasonable forums I've ever seen on CNN. Instead of insults and rantings, the posts are compassionate or informational. We in the US could learn a lot from the Dutch. Great people, great country. Sorry to hear of our diseases spreading overseas.
Alphen a/d Rijn- Ridderhof Shopping mall 4 people killed, 16 injured.
correction 4 dead. many injured
Already four confirmed dead and over fifteen wounded.
In our liberal country in the week the government announces to cut € 1 billion on military expenses! We are the country with very strict weapon regulation, even semi-policeman wear no weapons on the street.
Yep. Much safer. A LOT more people get killed in the US (relative murder rate)
Indeed they are, this is the first times in decennia this happens. This happens in the US what, ever 6 months? So yeah, our gun laws make it safer.
@idb you're kidding right? The murder rate in Holland is four times lower than the US. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_mur_percap-crime-murders-per-capita
try every day cespur.
Yeah, they sure do.

the point is, this COULD happen every single day if someone wanted to do it.. the problem is not the gun or laws.. the problem is the mental health of the people.. in the U.S., mental health and education are the first things that get cut..
Wait a second, there's a military in Holland? Since when? Or is mass transit blockades on major european highways in slow moving mobile homes and trailers your costly method of invasion
I see...

Is there a Islamic connecton like braziil shooting?
White male, blond hair, blue eyes, ex-military.
How you wish it would have been a Muslim, so you could pass the blame and hatred around! GET A LIFE !
brazilian shooter was christian.
There wasn't one single source of news in Brazil linking the shooter with Islam, from the most extreme leftist to the right wing media. In fact he left a letter talking about God and Jesus, and he had several communities at social websites to discuss the Bible and the teachings of God. He was a Christian. I've only seen U.S. websites trying to link him with Islam, you guys are amazing.
You mean is there a Christian connection as with the Brazilian shooter who asked the priests to pray for him and Jesus to forgive him. Sorry, I think you're getting your monotheistic religions mixed up. Hopefully, you can keep them straight when you espouse your bigotry.
@Thetruth. It's not an unusual assumption give the propensity for muslims to attack Europeans and Americans. So, excuse the cliche, but you get a life. The people of islam are at war with anyone that doesn't agree with their arcane notions.
6 People killed.

Dramatic... and we don't even sell guns on every corner of the street.
Btw: White mall, approx 25 years old

6 dead counted for. 4 severyly injured, others wounded. The killer was white, blonde hair and blu eyes.
They should ban guns like Mexico did.
This kind of guns are banned for civilians only people with permit may have some types of guns but not this kind only the Police and army have them.
Police are currently starting investigating.
Gun man killed himself
Mexico has the highest murder rate going. Those people are shooting each other every day.
