Utrecht shooting: Dutch police report nine injured and three dead on tram
A suspected 37-year-old Turkish gunman is on the run after a shooting in the Dutch city of Utrecht on Monday left nine people injured and three people dead on a tram.

Heavily armed counter terrorism responders have since surrounded a building where the gunman, identified by police as Turkish born Gökmen Tanis, may be located. Police ordered locals to remain indoors.
Police tweeted a CCTV image of Gökmen Tanis, suspected to be behind the tram shooting, and said to be keeping an open mind on whether the shooting is a terrorist attack. A Turkish businessman living in Utrecht told BBC Turkish that Tanis has connections to ISIS.

Wouldn't surprise me if multiple shooters.
All I've seen is one shooter in custody. Interested in other reports.

Gökmen T. wrote in a letter to act in the name of Allah
Because of the discovery of the note and 'the nature of the facts', the police and the Public Prosecution Service take 'seriously' into account that there is a terrorist motive behind the attack .

A conflict in the relational sphere, such as honor killings, would be much more unlikely since no relationship has been established between the suspect and the victims.
