Tram shooter? No "supremist"? Whose president do we demand condemns him? Doesn't Van Zanen realize he will be in trouble with the left for saying his thoughts are with the victims and loved ones?

 

A Turkish man was captured Monday, hours after he was identified as the suspect who allegedly gunned down three people and wounded several others on a Netherlands tram in an apparent terror attack, Dutch police said.

Gökmen Tanis, from Turkey, was accused of opening fire about 10:45 a.m. local time near 24 Oktoberplein junction in the Dutch city of Utrecht, located about 22 miles southeast of Amsterdam. The 37-year-old suspect was taken into custody during a raid, police in Utrecht said. Heavily armed anti-terror officers were captured on video earlier gathering in front of an apartment block close to the scene of the initial attack of the tram.

 

Utrecht Mayor Jan van Zanen, who initially said nine people were wounded, said three of those injured remain in critical condition on Monday.

"We cannot exclude, even stronger, we assume a terror motive," van Zanen previously said.

Netherlands Counter-Terrorism Agency head Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg said in a Monday afternoon news conference that the gunman opened fire in several locations.

"In Utrecht, there was a shooting at several locations," Aalbersberg told reporters. "A lot is still unclear at this point and local authorities are working hard to establish all the facts."

Few details have been released about Tanis since police identified him as a suspect in the deadly shooting. Dutch prosecutor Rutger Jeuken said in a news conference Tanis had been previously arrested but did not provide further details.

The suspect's father, Mehmet Tanis, who lives in Turkey's central Kayseri province, told the private Demiroren news agency that he hadn't spoken to his son in 11 years. He said, "if he [his son] did it, he should pay the penalty."

The attack prompted a citywide lockdown while the country's counter-terror office raised the threat level to maximum. Van Zanen earlier called the shooting a "horrible and radical incident" and said his "thoughts are with" the victims and their loved ones.

"The most important thing at the moment is taking care of the wounded and investigating the circumstances of the incident. We do not exclude anything, not even a terrorist attack," he said in a statement.

Photos and videos showed officials cordoning off the area near the tram. A witness told Dutch news site NU.nl that "a man started shooting wildly." Another witness told Dutch broadcaster NOS he encountered a woman with blood on her hands and clothes at the scene.

"I brought her into my car and helped her," he recalled. "When the police arrived, she was unconscious."

In neighboring Germany, police stepped up their surveillance of the Dutch border.

New York City Police Commissioner James O'Neill said the NYPD was closely monitoring the shooting.

"#NYPD is closely monitoring reports of a shooting on a tram near Utrecht Central Station, the Netherlands’ main transportation hub. There does not appear to be a #NYC nexus at this time. A manhunt is ongoing & the motive is so far unknown. We ask everyone to always remain alert," the commissioner said.

The Netherlands shooting comes only days after a self-avowed white nationalist opened fire inside two New Zealand mosques, killing 50 people and injuring dozens more.

I'm sure it brought a tear to your eyes, why would he be happy the
shooter wasn't a white Nationalist who supported Trump, I wouldn't
care if he was, it doesn't incriminate any other white men no matter
how hard your pathetic liberal lying MSM coward yellowdogs who
tuck their tails to the pink hat loser's. They are no concern to
conservatives.

Yes, where are all the ones that run and label shooters? Surely this guy is some sort of "supremist" and there is some world leader somewhere that should be condemning him and his group.

I repeat:

"Remember when we would have a Muslim terror attack in the US and Obama would call it "work place violence or a lone wolf attack"? He never called out or condemned anyone, he made excuses for them".

The left remembers, they just hope no one else remembers.

Can't wait for the final season of Game of Thrones. Do you watch?

It doesn't...imagine that. If only you knuckleheads could apply that line of thinking to people that don't look like you.
