02.01.2025The Rotterdam Serial Shooter Hunt
The pediatric healthcare crisis intensified as RS-virus filled ICUs nationwide, forcing surgery postponements. A newly released wartime archive naming 300,000 potential WWII collaborators drew thousands of information requests.

By midday, Rotterdam-IJsselmonde faced its third shooting in two weeks when an 81-year-old man was shot. Police concluded the three incidents were connected, releasing the shooter's photo and offering a 30,000 euro reward. The neighborhood entered effective lockdown as residents were advised against going outside alone.

The day's coverage connected to previous days' stories, with analysis of record New Year's car fires (270 nationwide) and continued police communication system failures during celebrations. By late evening, the 81-year-old victim died, making him the shooter's third fatality. Shortly before midnight, police apprehended the 24-year-old suspect, ending the city's brief reign of terror.
