Jeweler stabs person in possible heist

Update, 2:25 p.m., June 25: An unknown man, believed to be the attempted robber of a jewelry store in Amsterdam, died from a stab wound Thursday afternoon. The public prosecutor confirmed the death on the office's Twitter account. The prosecutor says the other person injured is a co-owner of the shop in Amsterdam West. In a message to the NL Times, the prosecutor's office says the circumstance of the stabbing is still under investigation. At least two people were injured during the apparent attempted robbery of a gold merchant, when the shopkeeper allegedly stabbed the person trying to pull off a heist, according to people at the scene. The jeweler was also injured in the incident at Goudspeurders on De Clercqstraat in Amsterdam West, according to people at the scene.
