In brief
A manhunt is taking place in Brussels after two masked gunmen opened fire outside the Clemenceau metro station on Wednesday morning. Fortunately, no one was injured during the attack, but it has raised concerns about public safety in the area. Security footage captured the assailants armed with what appeared to be Kalashnikov rifles, firing indiscriminately while avoiding contact with passersby.
The public prosecutor’s office confirmed that the shooting occurred in the Anderlecht district and emphasized that the incident did not seem to have a “terrorist motive.” Bullet casings have been recovered as part of the ongoing investigation. In response to the shooting, authorities temporarily closed the Clemenceau and Gare du Midi metro stations for approximately four hours to conduct thorough investigations.The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, but law enforcement is actively conducting search operations to locate the suspects who fled into the metro station. As the situation develops, public transit authorities are working to ensure safety and stability in the area.
