Witnesses claim a teenage boy was shot and killed at a community centre by gunmen wearing balaclavas, reports De Telegraaf.

Other reports suggest the gunmen were carrying AK-47 machine guns and "came looking" for the young victim who is of Moroccan origin.

The boy, described as an adolescent, had been taking part in a kickboxing class at the community centre, reports Het Parool.

Terrified witnesses reportedly hid under tables as masked gunmen stormed the building.

Police have ruled out terrorism as a motive for the attack.
