Overview

• Police say the boy from Gouda was shot on the terrace after a reported armed fatbike robbery in the Wisselspoor area, where officers state he ignored repeated orders to drop a firearm.
• The oversight probe will review the officer’s firearm use as Mayor Joost Manusama urges against speculation and notes many children witnessed the incident; McDonald’s and authorities are providing support.
• Investigators have arrested two other boys linked to the robbery, including one who was at the scene and another who later reported to a station.
• In Utrecht, a motor officer remains hospitalized after colliding with a Picnic delivery van on Willem van Noortstraat, and police are appealing for witnesses and camera footage.
• Elsewhere, police seek a driver after a suspected hit-and-run in a serious A27 crash near Bavel and are investigating a Veendam house explosion thought to be caused by fireworks while requesting CCTV and tips.
