A gunman suspected of killing two Swedish nationals in a terrorist attack in Brussels has died after being shot by police, bringing an end to an overnight manhunt.
The Belgian federal prosecutor’s office confirmed Tuesday that the suspect, whose identity is yet to be confirmed, had been killed. He was spotted by a witness in a cafe in the Brussels municipality of Schaerbeek shortly after 8:00 a.m. local time on Tuesday, and then shot during an “intervention” by the police, Belgium’s National Crisis Center said.
said a moment of silence would be held at all Euro 2024 qualifying matches on Tuesday, in memory of the two victims of the attack. The European Parliament held a minute of silence for the victims earlier Tuesday. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said in an address in Strasbourg on Tuesday that the alert level for European Parliament buildings in Brussels had been raised to orange.
