At least two people have died this Monday from shots fired by a man who opened fire late this afternoon in Brussels and fled, according to several local media reports and confirmed police sources, who also pointed out the existence of a number still no injuries reported.
The media agree that a man opened fire this Monday around 7:00 p.m. in the center of Brussels.
The incident occurred on Boulevard d’Ypres when a man dressed in a fluorescent orange jacket got off a motorcycle and fired a “weapon of war,” according to the newspaper Sudinfo.
The information about the shooting was confirmed by police and Brussels fire brigade spokesman Walter Derieuw, who indicated that the “assessment is not very precise at this time” regarding the circumstances in which the events took place.
In a video recorded by a witness, which is circulating online and reproduced by the sports newspaper DH, the man is seen arriving alone on a small motorcycle, throws it to the ground and begins to quickly shoot people in the street.
The attacker, who is wearing a white helmet, chases several people who are trying to take refuge in a glass building, at whom he shoots and finishes one of them off when he is already on the ground.
The man also shot two people who were in a taxi and then fled on the motorcycle, according to some media, which claim that the two fatal victims are Swedish nationals.
