De Vries, a celebrity in the Netherlands known for exposing the criminal underworld, was blasted in the head shortly after leaving the studio of Dutch broadcaster RTL, police officials and the media network said.

Three suspects, including the possible gunman, were detained after the shooting, police said.

"He was seriously wounded and is fighting for his life," Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema said in a televised news conference.

"He is a national hero to us all. A rare, courageous journalist who tirelessly sought justice."
