Suspect arrested after man wounded in Berkel-Enschot street shooting

A man was shot and wounded on a street in Berkel-Enschot on Sunday morning, prompting a police raid on a nearby home where officers arrested a man and seized three air guns, according to police and local reports.

Following the incident, police entered a residence and detained a man. Authorities also confiscated three air rifles during the search, the broadcaster reported.
