A lone gunman in a bulletproof vest has opened fire in an apartment and a hospital in the Netherlands, killing three people including a 14-year-old girl, police have said.

Thursday’s shooting sent patients and medics fleeing the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam, including some who were wheeled out of the building in beds.
