shooting A prominent Dutch crime journalist has been seriously wounded after being shot on a street in Amsterdam. Police said Peter R de Vries was taken to hospital during a serious condition after being shot within the city center on Tuesday evening. National broadcaster NOS was attacked after appearing on a TV program. The video showed him lying on the ground with an evident wound to the top. Police are trying to find a light-skinned man with a slender build, a dark green camouflage jacket, and a black cap. People are asked to not approach him themselves and to call emergency services if they see him. The Algemeen Dagblad newspaper said a suspect had been arrested south of Amsterdam but this has not yet been confirmed by police. Caretaker Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte was expected to form a press release after meeting with counter-terrorism officials and police within the Hague. “Whatever the circumstances, this is often unimaginable and terrible news,” said government minister Wopke Hoekstra in parliament. A frequent commentator on TV programs, Mr de Vries, 64, is well-known for his crime investigations within the Netherlands. As a reporter, he has covered numerous high-profile cases, including the 1983 kidnapping of beer magnate Freddy Heineken.
