The shooting happened on October 4 in Iwan Kantemanplein in the Dutch city.

In the video, released on Tuesday, an unidentified person parks a scooter near the school during the night of October 3.

The next morning the scooter can be seen on the surveillance camera footage, with two men sitting on it. Both of them wore helmets, so they could not be identified.

A few moments later the two men on the scooter settle down behind a fence near the victim's car - 15 minutes later they leave.
