The first incident happened on Anske Lammingastraat at about 5:30 p.m. Police responding to the scene found a man there with a gunshot wound. "The victim was still responsive, and was taken to a hospital," police said. One witness told Parool that a man ran towards the victim, and then four or five gunshots rang out. The newspaper said the man was shot in the leg.

The witness and another believed the incident was related to a domestic situation, as the man had earlier tried to visit his children who were with his ex-girlfriend. The earlier situation escalated, and police were called to the scene. He returned later, which again escalated. This time, shots were fired.

Police said three arrests were made in the incident. The situation was still under investigation.
