We received a report of the shooting incident around 02:30 AM. On the Energieweg, officers found a 27-year-old man from Groningen injured. He was taken to the hospital with injuries. Shortly after the shooting incident, a suspect was arrested elsewhere in Groningen. This person is no longer in custody.
Conflict involving multiple people
The police immediately began, among other things, a forensic investigation. They have also already spoken with those involved and witnesses. We consider the possibility that a conflict occurred first at the Suikerunieterrein, involving multiple people. This conflict may have then moved via the footbridge to the Energieweg. Ultimately, shots were fired there, and the 27-year-old man was injured.
Witnesses and video footage
An event took place at the Suikerunieterrein, so there is a good chance that attendees may have seen or heard something about the possible conflict and/or the shooting incident at the Energieweg. Additionally, the police are also looking for video footage from both locations. Do you know more about how the possible suspect fled? Let us know.
