“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

No description of the shooter?
They only know he was a "man?"

Not sure why. One would think any identifying information would be helpful from a public safety standpoint.

Police say it's possible this is not a terror attack, but a "family drama".

Re: Tram Shooting in Utrecht, Netherlands?
yeah right, well, Mr Tanis ought to have been institutionalized if that's his response to family trouble.
I've heard he was a "turkish refugee"... does anybody know if he might have ties to the Fetullah GÜlen network?

One just has to love the Dutch language. The Dutch word for "a shooting" is "schietincident"

Dutch shooting: Utrecht police hunt gunman after three killed
They're still thinking it could be a 'terrorist' attack.Five others were injured in the incident, which the authorities say appears to be a terrorist attack.
Police are looking for a 37-year-old Turkish man named as Gokmen Tanis and have warned people not to approach him.
Schools have closed and security has been increased while counter-terrorism police work to find the gunman.

Do you think they were withholding information, or just didn't know yet?
