#5  The Daily Mail says it was an honour killing:

Tanis' relatives in Turkey told Anadolu news agency that the 37-year-old had opened fire on a relative 'for family reasons' and later shot at others trying to intervene.

Earlier today, Dutch police tweeted a photograph of Tanis, believed to have been captured on the tram's CCTV just four minutes before the incident at 10.45am this morning, and urged the public to 'look out for him but do not approach.'

#4  Funny how the Muslim terrorists manage to get their hands on guns in spite of the strict gun control laws in European countries like the Netherlands.

The way the calls for more gun control follow so closely on the heels of an incident like the the New Zealand mosque shooting, it does make one wonder.
