Gunman sought time on Dutch TV

A gunman entered the headquarters of Dutch national broadcaster NOS and demanded airtime on television, before being detained, company officials said.

NOS director Jan de Jong told national radio “someone got into the building” and added that the man had been taken into custody.

De Jong said it was unclear how the man got through tight security in the building and into the editorial offices in Hilversum, about 20km east of Amsterdam.
