Friesland police shoots a motorist (28) who ran into officers: ‘This is intense’ | Inland

Jurre de Haan (19) lives nearby. “I woke up to the bang. Like youth setting off a firecracker. It went on for a while…”

De Haan: „I saw a car driving through the meadow here. Within minutes, many more police arrived. This is intense.” He did sleep again afterwards. “And now on again”, he says and quickly cycles away.

Older men come by scooter and bicycle from the neighborhood to have a look. They can’t get over it. “Normally not much happens here.” A few women say: “You’ll see something, but I’ll leave it alone.”

“So I was still awake, suddenly heard something. But turned me around again. I heard from the help what happened,” says Ritske Bosma (86). He has lived in his nearby home for sixty years and in the area all his life. “It is only clear to me a few hours later. The police are still there. We’re not used to that here’: the Frisian sighs.

Pursuit

The fatal shooting incident happened at De Fjouwer Roeden in the village, around 1.45 am. Half an hour earlier, the police wanted to check the motorist near Quatrebras, but he ran away. After a chase, the car stopped in Boelenslaan, which belongs to Achtkarspelen. When officers approached the driver, he drove into them. Shots were then fired.
