The Rotterdam police responded to reports of three shootings on Sunday night and during the early hours of Monday morning. Two people were injured and the police arrested a total of four suspects, RTV Rijnmond reports.

At around 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, a man was injured in a shooting on Hietkamp in Rotterdam-Zuid. After being shot, the victim walked to his home on Oldegaarde, from where he called the police. A 33-year-old man was arrested in his home on Leliestein. According to the broadcaster, the victim and suspect know each other and the shooting may have to do with a previous quarrel between the two.

The police deployed a large number of officers to the area and a helicopter kept an eye on the situation from above. Three suspects were arrested. One of them had a bullet wound in the leg.
