Investigation
Exactly what happened is not yet clear. Police have opened a major investigation into the shooting incident. It seems that two groups of men were involved in a confrontation, but much is still unclear about the circumstances and the cause of the incident. The entire crime scene was searched by a sniffer dog for weapons and spent cartridges. The police are investigating three locations in Veldhoven after the shooting incident. The police are also calling on any witnesses who may have information about the crime.
