The Hague: Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said people may have died in a shooting in the city of Utrecht being treated as a possible terror attack, adding that the Netherlands would "never give way to intolerance".

Rutte told a brief press conference in The Hague with the country's justice minister that there were "several wounded and possible deaths" in the incident.

Photographs had earlier shown one body lying under a sheet at the scene.
