Turkish-born Gökmen Tanis, 37, was allegedly targeting one of his own relatives in the shooting, which left five other people injured, and saw the terrorism threat level in Utrecht raised to the highest possible.
The suspect – who ‘was known’ to authorities – was detained during a raid on the Oudernoord district of Utrecht, and the threat level in the province has been downgraded by one notch as a result of the arrest, Dutch police confirmed.
