Masked Gunmen Open Fire Outside Metro Station in Brussels, No Injuries Reported

Authorities in Brussels have launched a manhunt following a shooting incident outside a metro station, with no injuries reported.


A manhunt is currently underway in Brussels after two masked gunmen discharged rifles outside the Clemenceau metro station in the Anderlecht district early Wednesday morning. According to officials from the public prosecutor's office, the alarming event left no individuals harmed. Surveillance footage shows the assailants, who appeared to be wielding Kalashnikov rifles, randomly firing while seemingly disregarding bystanders present. They subsequently fled into the station premises. Willemien Baert, a spokesperson for the prosecutor's office, indicated that initial investigations suggest a lack of terrorist motivation behind the attack. Law enforcement officials recovered multiple bullet casings from the scene. In response to the gunfire, the Clemenceau and Gare du Midi metro stations were temporarily shut down for approximately four hours to facilitate thorough investigations, as reported by public transit authorities.
