with his car. He missed the bus of the Royal family, and hit a monument. but there are 4 people killed, 8 people heavenly injured,and 5 people less injured. the Royal family had just passed the spot where the car hit the monument, they saw it happening. It's so sad: what started as a joyful happy day, ended in a misery. most of the parties are canceled. and it's awful that people are killed or injured by one crazy man !!! sorry, just had to tell this.

what a horror! My prayers are for all involved.

Sorry to hear all the sad news. We don't get much news here. I don't watch much TV anyway. My prayers go out to all those people.

gerry I am so sorry to hear of this happening in your country. I am aware there are lots of deranged sick people all over the world. I am so sorry to hear of the injured and dead. I am praying for all the families involved.

I pray for your country and so sorry the day started so horrific. It is all over our news here in the USA and I pray for healing of the people. I have waited for this day also because it was a day of celebration for my sisters little grandson in the Netherlands. His birthday. many *4U and your country.

Makes you wonder what people are thinking to cause such sorrow and do terrible things.

Hi Gerry, Saw it on the Afrikaans news today. So sorry about it, will pray for all concerned. Keep your heads up.

Gerry, we can never make any sense of stuff like this - I am so sorry - I will pray for acceptance of God's will.

it's just awful the man has been captured and is in the hospital too. but it has become a sad sad day!the day of the queen or koninginnedag as we say will never be the same again. and I agree with you all let's pray for all of them. The queen gave a press-message to the people, she looked at least 10 years older,by what happened, on the day that should have been a celebration. as I said; a sad sad day. hugs for you all.

i saw it on the news this afternoon ,its so sad that this has happend,this man is really crazy to do something like that,god bless all those people ,gr connie

So sad why can't people be good instead of bad?

This is so sad, I saw it on our News too. Those poor People and their Families! God Bless them

Just saw it on English TV. Just can not believe it in our small peacefull country.
Did not see the people killed on TV and shocked to hear from you how many and injured too.
Thank goodness the royal bus was missed
What possesed this person.Hopefully they will be able to question him.
Thinking of you all

Not very likely, he seems to be brain dead.

What goes through the minds of these people?!! Don't they realize that a life taken from here can't be given back! This world is slowly falling apart at the seams. Pray for God's guidance for us all.

First I've heard the news. I'm happy the Royal family is okay but sorry to hear of the injured and dead. I too agree with prayers for the victims as well as this man. I will also include his family as I'm sure they will be suffering greatly through this ordeal.

I'm with designgirl! If he is so unhappy, be gone! But don't take anyone else with you.

Instead of killing innocent people,why didn't he just take his own life. But they never do. So sad.

Let's keep praying together for those families and ours.

PRAY, PRAY, PRAY as NEVER before...we have not seen anything yet *2U

That's exactly what everyone wants to know. Might take a while, he's been operated upon and might not to able to be questioned for a while.

I'm so sorry for that news. Is incredible how people can injure innocents, with guns, with bombs, etc. I will pray not just for the victims but also for him, to receive the forgiveness he needs. Flower and XoXo

A car can be a deadly weapon too, no guns (not allowed here anyway) or bombs needed. However, first thing the police did was get a sniffer dog in her car.

I'm so very sorry to hear this .. be careful because things like this puts thoughts in other peoples heads. You never know what a day will bring.

shocking news,*

It was a 38 yr old male, with no psychiatric, criminal, terrorist or activist background. It happened 5 hrs ago, 10 to 12 our time, it took hours to clear the mess. The perpetrator had to be cut out of his car and is now in hospital. The reason for his deed is as yet unknown.

My daughter in Belgium phoned me with the news, I was happily clearing out the attic and missed the live broadcast. It seems to be a one-man-action, bad enough as it is, but thank goodness, no terrorist or criminal ties - that would have far reaching consequences. Everyone is shocked to the bone!

Oh, Gerry, I'm so sorry!!! I'm glad the Royal family is ok, and that the idiot crazy person did not accomplish his goal, but I'm so sorry for the poor innocent people who were killed or injured!! It's terrible that people think problems can be solved with such random violence. Praying for all the families of those who were killed or hurt, and for your poor Netherlands, a lovely country to suffer such a tragedy. Love, Marji
