Utrecht shooting: Gunman carries out mass shooting on tram - police on scene

I'm not quite sure and I can't find it anywhere now but the 1 deadly victim in a full tram was a woman. I suspect we will find out later that this was another one of those lovely honor-killings.

Keep you updated

Peace

That would seem unllikely. It's not really the place for something like that to happen.

Because the collective mind of the internet is far faster than actual reporters. And since the MSM seems to get crucified for reporting in social media style lately they are probably holding back a little. Just my theory.

Hence the 3 people wounded....dunno

No description of the attacker/s.

Is it because they are hiding something or because unless stated specifically (like NZ) it’s just assumed everyone knows?

They describe the car they’re looking for in more detail ffs........they say it’s red
Be on the lookout for a red car everyone

My guess, they fear instant reprisals on more innocents; a tit for tat war between nutters from either side of the polemic. It's risky, though, since a description may help to prevent further bloodshed.

Good thats what they should be doing in the first place........News agencies need to focus on be accurate over being "first"

MSM is severely lacking details look at that bbc fox cnn barley antthing.... the only ones reporting are RT Jpost & Reuters??
Its not even on the front pages of cnn fox or the bbc for that matter

How come i can get picture & background of the shooter here on ATS before MSM has it reported WTF ???

Really shows you whats what and make you go Hmmm OK

BBC are playing a VT at a time like this!

There's obviously an agenda, but what exactly it is up for debate. It's probably an effort to prevent the tit for tat from snowballing with a far right retaliation. That's fair enough, but naive when the attacker's pic is on Sky News. It'd be more responsible and braver of them to run the news and editorialise against retaliation best they can...

As i type BBC just ran the attacker pic. Hope this ends without further harm to anyone.

Being accurate doesn't give you more clicks.

That's a very good point.

That may be what they are reporting, but lets face it.

It would have happened either way, for some "reason".

a reply to: TheJesuit

He is not a White Nationlist so there is no reason to. I am sure the media will play it as 'revenge' and will once again make a perp look like a victim to 'fight back'. Pretty f'd up if you ask me but that is modern media.

Dunno but someone under neath him just told him nicely done in a tweet...... People are dispicable

a reply to: Grambler

Dutch media are reporting that he was trying to kill one person then shot at the people who tried to help the female he was trying to kill. Don't believe the hype.

a reply to: ManBehindTheMask

Horrible. When Twitter is getting as bad a 4Chan you know censorship there is biased for a reason....

a reply to: Grambler


They havent got the guy so the motive is still open , also i saw a picture that a muslim lady was amongst the wounded.

a reply to: TheJesuit

The guy in the twitter account you linked is named, "Gökhan Tanış," the guy Dutch police are looking for is named, "Gokmen Tanis." Very similar names but spelled slightly differently.

Here is a picture of the person for whom they are looking:

Twitter

The above guy looks nothing at all like the person in the twitter account you linked.
