Utrecht Update

Using ARD (German public TV, Channel One) as a reference:

1.  Based on a 'note' found in the escape car, the cops still talk of a possible terror motive (Jihadist).

2  The two other guys detained on Monday and thought to be part of this episode....have been released

3. Cops still can't say there is any connection between this first woman shot, and the Turkish shooter.  The speculation by a Turkish newspaper that this was a honor-killing?  Still not established as factual.

4.  It is factual that the shooter (originally from Turkey, 7 years ago) that he was arrested and convicted for attempted murder.  More recently, he'd been detained for rape charges.  If you look at Dutch news, there are questions by the public on why he was still in the country after the conviction for attempted murder.

5.  An organization claiming jihadist or terror credit?  Oddly....none.  My humble view: Either this was an honor-killing, or the guy was doped-up to the max and just started on some killing spree.
