That's a relief!  It wasn't the usual islamic terrorism, it was just a family shooting.

There appears to be no link between the victims and the shooter.

The Latest: Wilders urges justice minister to resign

    Mar 19, 2019 Updated 29 min ago

Dutch politician Geert Wilders has demanded that Justice Minister Ferd Grapperhaus resign after it became apparent that the main suspect in the Utrecht tram shooting had been released recently from prison after pledging to cooperate with authorities.

Wilders, the anti-Islam head of the Party for Freedom, said after a ceremonial session to mourn the three people killed on Monday that Grapperhaus was responsible for the suspect being able to roam the streets.

"You are politically responsible for this," Wilders said in the Dutch parliament in The Hague. "You have to resign, get out of here."

It's back to looking like terrorism though, they have not said anything concrete on this. The last article might be worth reading more in depth, the guy was accused of rape (doesn't say found guilty of) and also sentenced for other criminal acts.

Who said it was over family reasons?

The shooter himself?  Someone in the government? It sounds like it was a statement irresponsibly made.

Now, I see, two sources say that RTL, Dutch media say his note does say
