At the apartment, the victims was a 39 year old woman, at the apartment, the victims were a 39 year old woman, and her 14 year old daughter died in hospitalfrom her injuries.

Police say there were two incidents in different parts of the city the first at a private house, and then at a hospital, the mc erasmus. Staff and patients were quickly evacuated. We were told to leave, this man says. The police told us to leave. At the sight of the first shooting, smoke can be seen coming from an Apartment Block and a man is treated for his injuries at the side of the road. Translation this afternoon, | we had two Shooting Incidents one in a house, where two people were injured. The shooter then continued to the medical centre, to a classroom there, where he also shot someone we have arrested. We have arrested a 32 year old man from rotterdam. The 32 year old man was arrested on the helipad of the hospital. The motive for the attack is unclear. Graham satchell, bbc news. 0ur correspondent in the netherlands, anna holligan, gave us this update. A 14 Year Old Girl is one of the casualties, one of the fatalities who has died in this shooting. Ive just arrived at the scene, where one of the shootings took place. A few moments ago, i spoke to a Security Guard who didnt want to talk on camera, but said he was first on the scene and that the person who was killed in the classroom here was one of the teachers. Thats the Security Guard who was first on the scene. If i to show you guard who was first on the scene. If ito show you around here, you can see there are some dutch reporters and spanish reporters. The Security Guard also told me that gunman didnt enter through the main interest. Insurance. The hospital is, you can feel there is something the main entrance. Police got the first call at lunch time that there had been a shooting at a house, and shortly afterwards, the gunmen arrived here. Weve seen photographs shared on dutch media life pages. He appeared to be wearing combat trousers. They picked up a gun from inside the hospital. Police were sweeping through very quickly as the swat teams were on the scene. We saw pictures there share on social media. Students had been writing the room numbers on people some paper and sticking them to the window. There was absolute chaos and confusion. Nobody knew whether there was one gunmen or possibly more. Lisa now said theyre not looking for anyone else. They believe the suspect may have arrested was acting alone. Lets go now live to the netherlands. We can speak to freelance journalist gordon darroch. He is in the hague. Thank you forjoining the programme. What more do we know about the suspect and his motive . The police said hes a suspect and his motive . The police said hes a 13yearold suspect and his motive . The police said hes a 13yearold student | said hes a 13 year old student 30 year old student. He had a previous conviction for animal mistreatment. Local media reports the woman who died, the 39 year old woman, was his neighbour who reported him several times to the Housing Association for mistreating his pet dog and his pet rabbit. A 43 year old victim, the man, was a teacher at the university. The student was one of his students and witnesses said he fired five shots. Police have also said this hit has been a targeted action he carried out. It seems that he actually knew who his victims were and he had a reason, a motive for targeting them. So, he set fire to both the properties. It seems to me from the reporting that we had that the Emergency Services work extraordinarily quickly. Yes, they res onded extraordinarily quickly. Yes, they resnonded very extraordinarily quickly. Yes, they responded very fast. Extraordinarily quickly. Yes, they responded very fast. I extraordinarily quickly. Yes, they responded very fast. I think extraordinarily quickly. Yes, they responded very fast. I think the l responded very fast. I think the police by the time they got the first report, he was already at the hospital. It was quite a short distance between the locations. He set fire to the house, first of all, and in the fire was burning very strongly by the time the fire centre got here. They couldnt get into the house first to begin with to look for victims. And then he started to fire in a classroom in the hospital and some reports say hed actually threw a molotov cocktail, although that hasnt been confirmed by police. They had to evacuate the hospital because after he had shot the teacher, he ran to the hospital. There are some reports that he continue to fire his gun. There were more victims, so they had to evacuate the hospital. The team are searching for possible further t � s, so it was an extreme the debts. Presumably, if he was firing in that way, from the reports ive read, people were barricading themselves into rooms to get away from him at a time when he was setting a fire. Backing themselves into rooms and they couldnt get out. The Police Closed off the hospital so the shooter couldnt get to other people. At some point, they had to evacuate the hospital. There are lots of people in the hospital who spoke of panic because they were trapped and didnt know what was going on. Scenes of actual chaos. Gordon, thank you very much indeed. Still confused picture in rotterdam. Three People Killed in the suspect in custody. Were just going to peel away. Im going to take you to arizona.

Lets concentrate on the terrible situation in Nagorno Karabakh. The separatist leader of the self declared state, says their struggle for independence from azerbaijan is over. We have been focusing all week the exodus of those who are now making their way into neighbouring armenia. More than 70,000 Ethnic Armenians are said to have left the disputed territory. Thats well over half the population. Karabakh had been controlled by armenians for three decades, it was seized by azerbaijan in a Military Operation last week who say they want to re integrate the people into azeri society. But most if not all of those living in that enclave say they fear persecution, and would prefer life in exile to that under azerbaijani rule. The armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan Accused Azerbaijan of conducting Ethnic Cleansing and has called on the Internation Community to act.
