A fatal shooting took place this afternoon on a crowded terrace at the NDSM wharf in Amsterdam. The victim, who was a prison worker in Zaanstad, died at the scene despite the intervention of emergency services and a trauma helicopter. The suspect was apprehended by police shortly after the incident, just meters from the scene, while attempting to surrender after tethering his dog to a lamppost. Police divers later recovered a firearm from the nearby water. The confrontation allegedly began after an argument broke out between the two men, reportedly involving a dispute over whether the suspect should have kept his dog on a leash, though authorities have not yet confirmed the specific cause. Terrified patrons at the busy terrace sought cover under tables as the situation unfolded. Multiple witnesses were transported to a police station for questioning as the investigation into the exact circumstances of the fatal shooting continues. Authorities have cordoned off a large section of the NDSM wharf, and ferry services in the area have been temporarily diverted.
