Two people have been killed after a gunman opened fire in a McDonald's restaurant in the Netherlands.
The gunman reportedly "ordered food and sat down before opening fire" inside the crowded establishment.
The incident took place at around 6pm on Wednesday in Zwolle, in the northeast of the country, according to police.
According to a witness, the two men were shot while eating their meal in what was described as a "targeted" attack.
Dutch police have tweeted that two people have since died, and they are still searching for the perpetrator.
Police have urged people to stay away from the scene, which has been cordoned off while investigations take place.
RTV Oost reports that the victims are "allegedly influential businessmen of Turkish descent".
The media outlet added that witnesses saw the gunman walk into the McDonald's and order food before sitting down at a table and shooting the men next to him.
The broadcaster said: "There was massive panic among the patrons who all tried to flee outside."
The gunman then fled the scene and is yet to be located.
Emergency services and police rushed to the scene and attempted to resuscitate one of the wounded victims. However, he later died.
Police said they were looking for witnesses.
The identity of the two victims has not been revealed, and the motive for the attack is not yet known.
Video images from the scene showed the area cordoned off with police tape while a helicopter circled overhead.
Shocked witnesses and relatives of the victims could also be seen consoling each other.
In a tweet, Overijssel Police said: "Two people were killed in the shooting earlier this evening.
"The area surrounding the McDonald's in Zwolle-Noord has been closed as a crime scene for investigation.
"Have you seen anything but haven't spoken to the police yet? Call 0900-8844."
