Dutch police say 3 people are killed in shootings at a university hospital and home in Rotterdam

LA Times  

Emergency services attend to the scene at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands, on Sept. 28, 2023. A lone gunman wearing a bulletproof vest opened fire in an apartment and a hospital in the Dutch port city of Rotterdam on Thursday, killing three people, including a 14-year-old girl, police said. The shooting sent patients and medics fleeing the Erasmus Medical Center in downtown Rotterdam, including some who were wheeled out of the building in beds. The shooter then went to the nearby Erasmus Medical Center, where he killed a 43-year-old man, a teacher at the academic hospital, police said. “We also think of everybody who lived in fear during these terrible actions.” The Erasmus Medical Center appealed on social media for people not to go to the hospital, but later said it was reopening.
