One injured in Amsterdam shooting

One man was injured in a shooting on Kolfschotenstraat in Amsterdam-Zuidoost on Tuesday afternoon. He was rushed to the hospital. The extent of the man's injuries is unclear, though eyewitnesses told the Telegraaf that he was unable to move after the shooting. Local residents took him to the medical center, where a helicopter picked him up and took him to the hospital, a local resident told AT5. The police are looking for the shooter. He is around 40 years old with tanned skin and was wearing a black jersey and carrying a green suitcase. The police stress that he should not be approached. If you see him, call the emergency line.
