Injured in shooting, officers pull weapon when arresting man (21)

Two people were taken to a hospital on Friday night after a shooting in the Bavelseparklaan in Breda. Officers have arrested a 21-year-old man from Krimpen aan den IJssel. At this arrest they drew their weapons.

The police were warned around two o’clock that shots had been fired in the Bavelseparklaan.

Festival
The shooting took place after an argument between visitors to a festival that took place shortly before at the Breepark site. During this conflict, someone drew a weapon and fired several times.

One of the two people injured was a passer-by. Shots had been fired at the other victim. The victims were both taken to a hospital.

More arrests not excluded
After the shooting, the suspect fled in a car.

He was arrested half an hour later. He was then somewhere else on the Breepark.

Several people were involved in the conflict prior to the shooting. The police are looking for them and therefore do not rule out multiple arrests.
