A medical student is accused of killing three people in the Dutch city of Rotterdam.
A medical student accused of fatally shooting three people in the Dutch city of Rotterdam had been undergoing psychological examinations to establish whether he was mentally fit to become a doctor, a hospital official said.
All three died of their injuries. Police and prosecutors said the gunman also started fires at both locations.While prosecutors have not yet commented on a possible motive, Stefan Sleijfer, chairman of the executive board of Erasmus MC and dean of the faculty of medicine and health sciences, said the shootings could be linked to a psychological examination of the suspect linked to his studies.
At a press conference on Thursday night, the city’s chief public prosecutor confirmed that the suspect had previously been convicted in 2021 of mistreating an animal. Police set up black screens around the fire-scarred apartment building where the woman and her daughter were killed.
