The suspect who was arrested last night after a possible shooting incident in Assen is a 17-year-old resident of Emmen. This was announced by the police this afternoon.
The boy was arrested for threats. That happened on the Kerkplein in Assen after an argument on the street.
Witnesses said they heard loud bangs. Last night, the police already announced that shots may have been fired with a firearm. Whether that is actually the case, the police cannot confirm. Witnesses do say that there were bullet casings in the street.
No one was injured. The police conducted an investigation in the vicinity of Kerkplein and temporarily cordoned off the area. Today the investigation continues. Police are speaking to witnesses and are reviewing CCTV footage from the area.
