BRUSSELS (AP) — A gunman fatally shot two Swedes in Brussels late Monday, prompting authorities to halt a Sweden-Belgium soccer match nearby and place the capital on its highest terror alert level. The gunman remained at large.
The killings happened some 3 miles from a stadium where over 35,000 fans were watching a Belgium-Sweden soccer match, Belgium's anti-terror center said. The match was suspended half way through.
“I have just offered my sincere condolences to @SwedishPM following tonight’s harrowing attack on Swedish citizens in Brussels," De Croo said. He added on X, formerly known as Twitter, “As close partners the fight against terrorism is a joint one.” Media reports aired amateur videos showing a man shooting several times near a station using a large weapon.
