Rotterdam on Edge: Police Call for Calm as Third Shooting Rocks IJsselmonde, ₹30,000 Reward for Information
In a chilling turn of events, the Dutch city of Rotterdam is grappling with yet another shooting incident in the IJsselmonde district, with police found-empty shotgun casings and warning residents to stay indoors. The discovery comes hot on the heels of two previous shootings, fueling fears that a serial shooter may be at large.
