Footage released of Green Palace coffeeshop shooting in Amsterdam

The police released footage of a shooting at Green Palace coffeeshop on Kloveniersburgwal in late September in the hopes that information from the public may lead to an arrest. The shooting happened at 4:15 a.m. on September 27th.

The coffeeshop was hit at least once. It was closed at the time and no one was injured.

The perpetrator then flees in the direction of Oude Hoogstraat.
