Dozens of shots fired on Delft street

Multiple shots were fired on Peperstraat in Delft during the early hours of Tuesday morning. Witnesses report seeing at least 25 bullet shells on the street. As far as is known, no one was hurt.

The police received a report of the shooting around 4:00 a.m. According to Omroep West, bullet holes were found in the facade of coffeeshop The Future and tanning salon Sun Style. The two businesses are across the street from one another.

Police officers are at the scene to investigate. The area was closed down as a crime scene, and black screens were placed so that the police can work in peace.
