Second shooting in Utrecht neighborhood leaves man dead

A man was killed in a shooting incident in the Utrecht neighborhood of Lombok on Thursday evening. The perpetrators are at large. This was the second shooting in Lombok this week. On Wednesday morning, a fish shop on Laan van Nieuw Guinea and a building on the nearby Moskeeplein were shot at.

The shooting on Thursday night happened at around 9:20 p.m. on Kanaalstraat, near Soendastraat, NU.nl reports. The victim died at the scene.

The police cordoned off Kanaalstraat from Ouderijnbrug to Pieter Bonthstraat for investigation. A police helicopter was spotted surveying the scene from above.

So far little is known about the circumstances surrounding the shooting. It is also not clear whether there is a connection with the shootings on Wednesday morning.
