Yes, shots were fired.
Crowds of rioters torched cars and threw rocks at police in the centre of the Dutch port city on Friday, and police responded with shots and water canon.
"We fired warning shots and there were also direct shots fired because the situation was life-threatening,” police spokesperson Patricia Wessels said.
The Rotterdam mayor, Ahmed Aboutaleb, described the riots as an “orgy of violence”.
Local media said gangs of football hooligans were involved in the rioting.
“The police have felt the need to draw a police weapon in the end to defend themselves,” he told reporters.
The situation had largely calmed later but the smoking wreckage of a burned-out police car and dozens of smashed bicycles littered the scene.
I'm not surprised at all, Holland is an example of how being far-left will lead to things like that. Their retarded dictator prime minister managed to anger many countries in eastern europe and now he has the same effect on his own people, who knew lol...
