Goings-on in the Hood

So today when John arrived at work his colleagues had some news for him about some happenings in our neighborhood last night. This was unusual, because John is usually the one that entertains his co-workers with bizarre apartment stories. They decided to fill him in on this one because they know that we don't have access to most of the local news, which is broadcast in Dutch.

Apparently yesterday evening around 6:00 there was a shooting less than a mile from our apartment involving a gunman with an automatic weapon of some sort firing at a lawyer who used to represent "underworld" criminals including "criminal godfather" Sam Klepper. We don't know who any of these people are, but it sounds like these guys weren't messing around. As far as we know we don't have any ties to the criminal underworld in Amsterdam, so we think we're safe.
Here is the full story we found on an expat website.
