Two people have been shot dead in central Brussels, according to Belgian media reports.
It is being reported that both victims were wearing Swedish football shirts, ahead of the country’s Euro qualifier match against Belgium this evening in the capital.
This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
Two people were killed during a shooting in Brussels on Monday evening and the suspect was on the run, the Belgian capital’s prosecutor’s office said.
The alleged gunman in a fluorescent orange jacket fled the scene after using an automatic rifle, according to a video shared by Flemish newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws. A spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office said an investigation had been opened but did not speculate on the gunman’s motive.
¨Perpetrator says in video message that he is a member of IS”
The Walloon newspaper “Sudinfo” writes that the perpetrator of the shooting spread a video message on Facebook. In it, he allegedly says he is a member of IS (Islamic State) and boasts of killing infidels. “In his very violent speech, he said he had shot two people to ‘avenge the Muslims and that we live and die for our religion,'” it sounds.¨
Ffs. We either do something about this or live in fear of something happening.
Saw some footage, and it looks like the two victims ran into a building when the terrorist opened fire on them. However, the terrorist followed them inside and basically executed both of them. We’ll probably see more of these ‘incidents’ in the following days/weeks.
This is sick. My deepest condolences and sympathy for the European people.
For fucks sake I’m so done with this shit
Just going to support their team
sad for them, based on what the belgian media reports are saying about one of the suspects I wonder how this will influence Belgian society with the wider situation going on in the middle east
Islam doesn’t have a place in Europe
How much longer are we gonna tolerate religion of peace?
Sad that we can’t feel safe in our own countries anymore. 2 Europeans dead by a “you know who” who came here thousands kilometers just to be a criminal in a different country.
This just keeps happening and Europe does nothing about it… I’m so tired of this that this doesn’t even surprise me anymore.
Unfortunately Tintin and fries aren’t the first things that comes to mind when thinking about Belgium today..so fucking sad. Swedes can’t catch a break either.
And this is just a recoil from such a small thing as burning a fantasy book. Imagine if in 20 years we won’t recognize Sharia law? What happens then?
And people keep wondering why the right wing is gaining more and more popularity.
Time to take a serious approach like France. Everyone with even a minimum risk of terrorism is to be deported to their beloved shithole.
European goodness for these monsters only creates suffering
I am sick of reading empty statements from politicians after events like this. It’s time to grow a fucking backbone Europe.
How many deaths does it take, until too many people have died?
And how many times can a man turn his head, and pretend that he just doesn’t see?

Was it a doctor or an engineer this time?
Guess it’s going to be a guaranteed win for many of these “far-right” parties in the coming years.
People are finally getting tired of the religion of peace.
We all know there’s going to be more attacks than this one in the coming years.
This fucking makes my blood boil
Tough years ahead for Europe.
We need to look muslim immigration in the eyes and say stop. Europe is already on the brink of global insecurity and decline. They don’t want our culture, we shouldn’t want them. How many more innocent people need to die ?
Europe wake the fuck up for fuck’s sake, our leaders are traitors to the people.
I’m so fecking done with this shit
religion of peace strikes again
Muslims just dont fit with european culture. “But its not everyone!!!!” Yeah tell that the people that died.

Edit: Slightly more info from [another source](https://www.barrons.com/news/two-killed-in-brussels-shooting-da6fd88):

Edit2:

I really wonder what’s the profile of the shooter
We are becoming hostages in our own homes.
2 Swedes dead. Targeted attack for quran burnings is likely.
He uploaded a video to Facebook after and speaking Arabic I can hear him saying “suedi” which is Swedish in Arabic so most likely Targeted.
Gunman stated to on facebook that he is a member of ISIS.
Belgiums largest newspaper just confirmed it:
