At least five people have been shot in Delft over the past the weekend. Three of them, including a child, died.

The shootings are thought to be gang-related. The four-year-old boy was shot in the stomach by a stray bullet on Sunday.

The Delft Community Policing Forum Jamiel Spannenberg in a statement says, they need the community to work in partnership with the police to really grab this crime bull by the horns.

He says, These are really unnecessary killings; like the situation where a young man was found in possession of an illegal firearm but was released in the care of the parents. Just couple of days later, he was killed.
