Stabbing at a church-run aid center in the Dutch city of Leiden leaves 1 man dead, 2 people wounded

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Police say that one person has died and two are wounded, one seriously, in a stabbing at a church-run center that houses several aid organizations in the Dutch university city of Leiden. Police are hunting for a male suspect who fled the scene. A motive for the Friday morning attack at the center wasn’t immediately clear. The center’s chairman has told regional broadcaster Omroep West that the three people who were wounded were a staff member, a volunteer and a worker at one of the organizations that uses the center. Police have appealed for assistance in tracking down the suspect but warned members of the public not to approach him. The center houses organizations that offer help to people, including migrants and asylum-seekers.
