ALPHEN AAN DEN RIJN (Netherlands) - A GUNMAN opened fire in a packed mall in The Netherlands on Saturday, killing six people and wounding at least 10 others before shooting himself dead.

The shooter, 24-year-old Tristan van der Vlis, lived with his father near the shopping centre. He was a gun club member with several arms permits and was known to the police.

'The number of dead now stands at seven,' including the shooter, Bas Eenhoorn, the acting mayor of Alphen aan den Rijn south of Amsterdam told reporters.

In his car, a black Mercedes parked in the shopping centre car park, investigators had found a letter saying that explosives had been placed in three other shopping centres in the town.
