A masked man stabbed a child to death at a Dutch primary school today, local media reported.
The incident happened shortly before midday local time at a school in the town of Hoogerheide, 90 miles south of Amsterdam.
Police reported that a child had died as a result of a violent crime but gave no further details.
"I've heard that it was a family drama," said the neighbour, whom the national broadcaster NOS identified as Mrs. Schot.
Authorities established a crisis centre at the town hall in nearby Woensdrecht. Police did not immediately return calls seeking further comment.
