Two people\u00a0have\u00a0been shot and killed while four others\u00a0were\u00a0<\/strong>wounded during a mass shooting in Leiden, Delft last night (10 April).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident, which occurred at around 22:45 in Leiden Avenue, left a 38-year-old woman and a 12-year-old boy with fatal injuries while two men and two women aged between 19 and 61 were left wounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sgt Wesley Twigg, provincial police spokesperson, said Delft police arrived on\u00a0the\u00a0scene and found the victims with gunshot wounds to their bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The injured victims have been transported to hospital for medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“According to reports, an unknown male knocked on the door and when the door was opened, the suspect opened fire on the victims and fled the scene. The motive for the attack is yet to be determined,” explained Twigg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twigg said two counts of murder and four\u00a0counts\u00a0of attempted murder\u00a0are\u00a0being investigated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
