Today at noon, an unknown man entered shoppingcentre het Ridderhof in Alphen aan de Rijn. It was very bussy. Many families were shopping. He started walking through the centrum and just started shooting around him, 15 - 20 minutes long. After that he killed himself. At least 7 people are murdered, more victims are fighting for their life.. among the victims are children..  

There aren't relatives or family of mine among the victims. And I pray for the other Dutch members here that they aren't any any loved ones hurt.. Please pray for the people who are catched up in this tragedy, and the many people who have witnessed so much death.  Cry I'm absolutely shocked.. Such a huge murder has never happened here before.

Very tragic. Our prayers and thoughts go to the victims and their families, and all the people of the Netherlands.

QUOTE:
"The gunman who shot dead seven people and injured 16 in a shopping centre in the town of
Alphan aan den Rijn on Saturday has been identified as 24-year-old Tristan van der Vlis.
Van der Vlis turned a gun on himself after spraying the shopping centre with bullets on a busy Saturday
lunch time, sending shoppers fleeing in panic.
According to the Telegraaf, Van der Vlis had come into contact with the police in 2003, when he was 16 or 17
in connection with guns. He was also a member of a gun club and had a police permit for five weapons.
It is not clear if any of these were used in the shooting, the Telegraaf said."

Thank you all for your kind comments

As Maggie pointed out is his identity confirmed. Today it's became clear that he had psychological problems and has been threated before in a psychiatric hospital for suicidal potentials. Those records were known by the police so why he got an police permit for having weapons is a riddle.. He was clearly an loner, no friends or family.

Blaming the police or spitting his past won't change a thing about what happened. The only thing we can learn is that psychiatric patients need to be taken very seriously. You don't get a safe society... but the people who suffer from the inside need help.

At the moment there's is an commemoration. I don't only hope people will be able to overcome this loss, I hope this won't create hate and indifference in the people's hearts. There's already so much of it.

How did I miss this topic? (groan)  Embarrassed

Surely prayers are always timely. I will pray tonight and tomorrow at our Eastern Sunrise Service for the victims families, friends and the Dutch people.

I will even pray for the troubled man that did this horrible thing...
