List of mass shootings in the Netherlands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is a list of mass shootings in the Netherlands, including its constituent countries and special municipalities in the Dutch Caribbean. Mass shootings are firearm-related violence with at least four casualties.
The data includes casualties of perpetrators, including self-inflicted gunshot or shooting of a perpetrator by police. The treatment of perpetrator casualties is at variance to some but not all definitions of a mass shooting used in the United States. The inclusion of injured victims in the data is also at variance with some of the US definitions that only include dead victims. However, the above treatment is consistent with that used in other Wikipedia lists of mass shootings by country.
