Things like this seem to happen a lot more in the states then in other places. It's not hard to get a gun here either, but its not legal for anyone to get one and take it anywhere. U are really very much restricted in where to take your gun, and even on shooting ranges ur only allowed with 5 bullets in ur gun at once, and supervision is very strict.
Bullets barely cost anything, that not the problem, plus u can legally store thousands of them, but without a gun its hard to kill someone with them.
The crusial difference though is that u cant get a gun at young age, so u dont get young people playing around with them as easily, and the tight supervision also makes it a lot harder for someone to get their hands on one for things like this. If u make an instable impression, u can be denied ur gun.
Maybe people in the US should re-think if they want to keep guns legal. Sure its not the only reason these shootings happen, but it sure does influence how often they happen. And yea i do know the netherlands is much smaller then the us so its bound to happen more often in the states, but still, even in all of europe it doesnt happen quite as often as in the us! At least not that i remember having seen in the media.
