• Three people were killed and five were injured on Monday when at least one gunman opened fire on a tram in Utrecht, in the Netherlands. The authorities called it a possible terrorist attack, and stepped up security at other sites in the Netherlands. • A manhunt was underway for a Turkish-born man who the Utrecht Police said was “associated with the incident,” and the city’s mayor referred to him as a suspect. It was not clear how many people were involved. • The Netherlands has been spared the kind of large-scale terrorist attacks that have hit other Western European countries in recent years.
