AMSTERDAM, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Dutch police on Tuesday said 34 suspects from several countries were arrested after a shooting in which a man was killed and two police officers were wounded in the early hours.
The head of the regional police, Jolanda Aalbers, told reporters a “large group” of masked men opened fire when police arrived at a house where suspicious activities had been reported in Overasselt, a village in the east of the Netherlands.
Among those arrested were suspects from the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Algeria, regional prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said there were indications of a “long running” conflict, in which the same house had been shot at last year. Two people were convicted in that incident.
Police found a man with serious injuries who later died of his injuries.
Two police officers who were wounded by the gunfire were taken to hospital, Aalbers said.
