Shots were fired during a home invasion and robbery on Paviljoensgracht in The Hague on Monday morning. A victim was taken to hospital for treatment. Two suspects were arrested, the police said on Twitter.

The robbery was first reported to the police at 8:21 a.m., followed by reports of shots fired a minute later. An ambulance was dispatched to the scene at 8:23 a.m., with a second ambulance following 15 minutes later.
