A medical student accused of fatally shooting three people in the Dutch city of Rotterdam had been undergoing psychological examinations to establish whether he was mentally fit to become a doctor, a hospital official said.

The suspect, identified by Dutch media only as Fouad L, was arrested by heavily armed police on Thursday wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a firearm, police said.
