On the morning of 18 March 2019, four people were killed and six others were injured in a mass shooting on a tram in Utrecht, Netherlands.

[3] Gökmen Tanis, a 37-year-old Dutch citizen (before being stripped of citizenship in 2022), originally from Turkey, was arrested later that day following a major security operation and manhunt.

[9] The shooter fled in a car, leading to a large scale police manhunt, which lasted for much of the day.

[20] The three people killed were identified as two men from Utrecht aged 49 and 28, and a 19-year-old woman from the nearby city of Vianen.

[21] A neighbour of the murdered 19-year-old started a crowd-funding action to cover the costs of her funeral, reaching the target within hours.

[22][23] One of the victims was Rinke Terpstra, who broke a window in the tram which allowed at least five people to escape.

[24] A 74-year-old man injured in the shooting died of his injuries on 28 March,[25] bringing the death toll to four.

[5] Police presence was increased at railway stations, including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht, and at the country's airports.

[40][41] Elite police forces carrying semi-automatic weapons guarded Jewish community buildings.

[20] The day after the shooting, all national flags on government buildings in the Netherlands and at Dutch diplomatic posts were flown at half-mast on request of Prime Minister Mark Rutte.

Flowers were laid down, and a special poem by city poet Ruben van Gogh was inaugurated.
