Amsterdam coffeeshop closed after drive-by shooting

Amsterdam mayor Eberhard van der Laan decided to close down coffeeshop DNA on Achillesstraat following it being the target of a drive-by shooting earlier this week, AT5 reports. About five shots were fired at the coffeeshop around 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning. Luckily no one was injured. This is the second time DNA is closed down after a shooting. The mayor also closed the coffeeshop after it was the target of a shooting in May. It's only been open again for about three weeks.
