Netherlands (Security threat level – 2): At approximately 1045 local time (0945 UTC) on 18 March 2019, a man opened fire inside a tram in the city of Utrecht and then fled the scene. The incident took place near the 24th of October Square, which has been cordoned off. At least three people were killed and nine others were wounded, as of the most recent reports. Emergency personnel are at the scene and authorities have asked the public to stay away to allow first responders to do their job. As of this writing, there are reports that authorities have surrounded an apartment block near the tram shooting; it is currently unknown whether the attacker — who remains at large — is inside. Authorities have stepped up security at schools, mosques, government buildings and transportation hubs in Utrecht, as well as in other cities nationwide. All trains and trams in Utrecht have been canceled, and authorities have advised those in the city to not travel unless necessary.
Utrecht police authorities are investigating the shooting as a possible terrorist incident; no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Authorities have raised the terrorism threat level in the province of Utrecht to “critical,” the highest on the Netherlands’ five-tier scale, until at least 1800 local time. The rest of the country remains at a “substantial” threat level, the second highest level on the terrorism scale. Germany has increased surveillance along the country’s border with the Netherlands, including along major highways, smaller crossings and railroad routes, in light of the incident.
