Dutch Crime Reporter Dies of Gunshot Wounds

A well-known Dutch crime reporter who was shot last week in Amsterdam has died.

A statement from the family of Peter R. de Vries said the journalist “fought to the end but was unable to win the battle." "Peter has lived by his conviction: 'On bended knee is no way to be free,'" the statement said. "We are unbelievably proud of him, and at the same time, inconsolable." "Peter R. de Vries was always dedicated, tenacious, afraid of nothing and no one. Always seeking the truth and standing up for justice," Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte said in a tweet. "And that makes it all the more dramatic that he himself has now become the victim of a great injustice."
