The police arrested an underage boy from Emmen as a suspect after a shooting in Klazienaveen on Saturday evening. The incident took place on Pastoor Jongeriusstraat, near a supermarket. No one was injured.
Many witnesses
Several units went to the scene around 7 p.m. after a report of shots being fired in Klazienaveen. A crime scene was set up at the location and a trace investigation was carried out. Because there were many people at the location during and after the shooting, the police spoke to several witnesses. Based on an initial investigation, it appears that shots were actually fired, but it is still unclear what type of weapon was used.
Longer running conflict
Shortly after the incident, an underage boy from Emmen was arrested. He is in custody and will be interrogated. The investigation must reveal exactly what happened and what the circumstances were. It seems very likely to be a long-running conflict between people who know each other, the police said on Sunday.
