Several people have been injured in a shooting in the Dutch city of Utrecht, police have said.

The shooting began at 10.45am local time when a gunman opened fire in a tram on 24 Oktoberplain, a square outside the city centre.

According to news website AD, the gunman then fled the scene.

A number of trauma helicopters were sent to the area, police said, but it is unclear how many people have been taken to hospital.

Jimmy de Koster, who lives nearby, told RTV Utrecht that several shots had been fired and that he had seen a woman lying on the ground shouting: “I didn’t do anything”.

Mr De Koster said: “I came from my job when it happened.

“I am standing at the traffic lights on 24 October Square and I see a woman lying down, I think she is between 20 and 35.

“At that moment I heard pang pang pang three times, four men walked very fast towards her and they tried to drag her away and then I heard pang pang pang again and those guys let go of that woman again.”

  1. One more thing. I think that there are numerous travel insurance sites of dependable companies that allow you enter your vacation details and have you the estimates. You can also purchase the particular international holiday insurance policy on the net by using your credit card. All you have to do is usually to enter your own travel specifics and you can be aware of the plans side-by-side. Merely find the program that suits your financial allowance and needs and after that use your bank credit card to buy that. Travel insurance on the web is a good way to start looking for a reliable company for international holiday insurance. Thanks for discussing your ideas. free viagra samples in canada
