A number of people were killed in the Dutch city of Rotterdam on Thursday afternoon

A number of people were killed in the Dutch city of Rotterdam on Thursday afternoon after a man went on a shooting spree, local police said.

A 32-year-old man was arrested following the shootings which began in a house and continued in a classroom in a medical facility nearby.

Police did not specify exactly how many people had been killed.

A suspect wearing combat fatigues was later arrested on the Erasmus Medical Center’s helipad.

Video from the scene showed heavily armed police wearing body armour entering the hospital, while people, some holding up their hands, left the building.

Another person was injured in a home nearby, Rotterdam police said in a message on X, formerly Twitter. Fire also broke out at the home, local security authorities said. The blaze was quickly extinguished.
