‘How can this happen?’
The Dutch influencer Kelly van der Minne was present at the shooting. Shortly after the event, she shared her story with her followers on Instagram. “This is simply the worst that could happen.” She continues: “We were at Club Opium and someone was shot.

According to the influencer, at least four shots could be heard: “We lay on the ground terrified for ten minutes.
