Deux morts dans une fusillade dans un McDonald's aux Pays-Bas

(2022-03-30_21-18-00 (Belga))


Deux personnes ont été tuées mercredi lorsqu’un tireur a ouvert le feu dans un restaurant McDonald’s de Zwolle, dans le nord des Pays-Bas, ont indiqué la police et les médias néerlandais.

“Deux personnes ont été tuées lors d’une fusillade”, a indiqué la police sur Twitter, la radio locale RTL Oost précisant que l’incident était survenu vers 18h00.

Des témoins ont raconté que les victimes mangeaient dans le restaurant quand un homme armé est entré et a ouvert le feu, dans une attaque apparemment “ciblée”.

Le tireur s’est enfui. La police et les services de secours sont intervenus, les secouristes ont tenté de réanimer l’un des blessés, sans y parvenir.

La police a lancé un appel à témoins et fermé la zone, qui était survolée par un hélicoptère.


A MODERN FABLE

Aesop's fables and other traditional children's stories involve allegory
far too subtle for the youth of today. Children need an updated message
with contemporary circumstance and plot line, and short enough to suit
today's minute attention span.

The Troubled Aardvark

Once upon a time, there was an aardvark whose only pleasure in life was
driving from his suburban bungalow to his job at a large brokerage house
in his brand new 4x4. He hated his manipulative boss, his conniving and
unethical co-workers, his greedy wife, and his snivelling, spoiled
children. One day, the aardvark reflected on the meaning of his life and
his career and on the unchecked, catastrophic decline of his nation, its
pathetic excuse for leadership, and the complete ineffectiveness of any
personal effort he could make to change the status quo. Overcome by a
wave of utter depression and self-doubt, he decided to take the only
course of action that would bring him greater comfort and happiness: he
drove to the mall and bought imported consumer electronics goods.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Invest in foreign consumer electronics manufacturers.
