Overview

• A 15-year-old boy from Gouda was shot by police on the McDonald’s terrace in Capelle aan den IJssel after officers say he ignored repeated orders to drop a firearm.
• Independent investigators from the Rijksrecherche have launched the standard inquiry into the use of police firearms at the scene.
• Two other boys linked to the fatbike robbery were detained, one present during the shooting and another who later turned himself in; witnesses, including children, were offered victim support as the mayor urged against speculation.
• In The Hague, unrest following an asylum-policy demonstration led to 37 arrests and four injured officers, with police warning that more suspects may be identified.
• Road incidents added to the strain: on the A2 near Rosmalen a motorcyclist was killed as drivers ignored red-cross closures and were fined, while on the A27 near Bavel police are seeking a hit-and-run driver after a victim was ejected and seriously injured; a large search for a missing elderly man with dementia in Soest paused overnight and is set to resume.
