Dutch police and prosecutors on Wednesday were pursuing “every lead there is” and questioning two suspects to establish whether the deadly shooting on a tram in the central city of Utrecht was an act of terror.
Officers from a specialized arrest team detained a 40-year-old man in Utrecht on Tuesday and released two other men detained earlier, said police spokesman Joost Lanshage.Prosecutors have until Friday to question the Turkey-born suspect before he must appear before an investigating judge who could extend his detention.
Fearing more than one shooter was active, authorities locked down the city for hours - halting public transport and advising residents to stay indoors - until Tanis was arrested. Meanwhile, a crowdfunding initiative to pay for the funeral of one of the victims had already attracted nearly 60,000 euros by early Wednesday morning.
