At least two people were killed in a shooting at a shopping mall in Alphen aan den Rijn, in the Netherlands, early Saturday, eyewitnesses tell CNN affiliate NOS.
No Islamic connection. Shooter was Caucasian, blue eyes, was wearing military pants and a so called bomber jacket. There are rumours about shooter being an ex-soldier, but these are not confirmed or denied by the police nor local government.
the people that shop there are 50/50 ethnic and white people. When you use a machinegun you shoot to hit just anybody and youre obviously a very sick person
