18-year-old shot dead near Nijmegen Vierdaagsefeesten festival

Wednesday, 22 July 2026, 06:34 · 1 min read

An 18-year-old man from Rotterdam was shot and killed on the Graafseweg in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, just outside the grounds of the Vierdaagsefeesten (a major outdoor festival held alongside the city's famous annual four-day walking event) on Thursday evening. The victim was taken to hospital but did not survive, and police have since arrested another 18-year-old from Rotterdam in connection with the shooting. Authorities say they cannot rule out a link to the festival, which had drawn large crowds to the city at the time of the incident, and the area remains cordoned off as a forensic investigation continues.
