Police in
Nijmegen have arrested a man in connection with a fatal shooting on Tuesday
evening, just outside the area where the Vierdaagsefeesten, the street
festivities accompanying the annual four-day marches, were taking place.
A young
man was shot at around 10pm on the Graafseweg and died later in hospital
despite the efforts of ambulance crews and a trauma helicopter team,
broadcaster NOS reported. The arrested man is suspected of involvement in the
shooting, police said. The circumstances remain unclear.
The city
centre was busy at the time because of the marches, which began on Tuesday, and
the accompanying festivities. Police told news agency ANP they saw no link
between the shooting and the event itself.
The area
around the Graafseweg remained cordoned off on Wednesday morning for forensic
investigation. Police are looking into whether more people were involved and
have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
