Several metro stations in Brussels were closed on Wednesday following a shooting incident at the central Clemenceau station, according to the Belgian prosecutor's office. CNN reports that no injuries occurred during the incident, which took place around 6:15 AM local time.
Details emerging indicate that two suspects, armed with machine guns, fled into the metro tunnels after allegedly targeting an individual in what is believed to be a drug-related shooting. Sources close to the investigation, including Reuters, stated that the shooters missed their intended target, prompting police to search for the suspects within the subway system.
Local broadcaster VRT shared images of the suspects entering the metro station and opening fire, which raised concerns among commuters and caused significant disruption to metro services. Heavily armed police assembled at the scene, launching an extensive search operation.
The Clemenceau station is located near Brussels Midi, an important hub that connects Eurostar services from Paris and London, contributing to the chaos as the incident sparked fears across the busy transport network. By the afternoon, the entire metro system had reopened, including critical stations around Gare du Midi.
