In Brussels, Belgium, police were on the trail of two suspects on Wednesday in the subway tunnels, following a shooting at a station in the city center. According to the Belgian prosecution, the shooting left no injuries and is believed to be drug-related. Allegedly, the shooters aimed at a person unsuccessfully. According to local media, one of the assailants committed suicide and police were investigating their motivations.
The Clemenceau station is located near the main train station, Brussels Midi, an important arrival point for Eurostar trains from Paris and London. The shooting paralyzed traffic in the Brussels metro system, which hosts several European Union institutions and the NATO headquarters. This is the worst incident of its kind in Belgium.
In Sweden, ten people, including the assailant, lost their lives in a shooting that took place at an educational center. Police reports suggest that the attacker may have shot themselves. Authorities have not updated the number of injured or the condition of the victims.
Shootings in educational centers are rare in Sweden, although the country has recently experienced a series of attacks linked to gang violence, with an average of ten deaths each year.
