Two seriously injured in shooting in Brussels

Two men opened fire in Lacaillestraat in the Brussels Marolles. Two others were seriously injured. They were taken to hospital and are not in life-threatening condition.

The shooting took place near Zuidlaan around 6 p.m. The perpetrators were able to flee on an electric scooter. The police started a manhunt. According to Het Laatste Nieuws, the perpetrators were masked, but the police could not or would not confirm this because the perpetrators are still around.

A man who lives in the street told our reporter that there have been drug problems in the neighborhood for years. “Certainly since the 80s.”
