The driver and passenger of the suspect vehicle fled the scene, leading to a pursuit by officers. The driver of the vehicle is said to have driven in an extremely dangerous manner, breaking several traffic rules.
“At some point, when the suspect vehicle was moving a little ahead, the passenger got out of the vehicle and fired several times at the officers with a firearm. The officers were able to protect themselves from the shots and did not ‘were not injured’comments the Brussels public prosecutor’s office in a press release.

“During this shooting, a bullet apparently hit another vehicle which was behind the police vehicle. Several people were present in this car. The driver managed to take cover, avoiding being hit by a bullet .”
The first elements of the investigation seem to indicate that the perpetrators possibly used a weapon of war, such as a Kalashnikov. In addition, the initial investigations also seem to show that there could be a link with the previous shooting near the Aumale metro station.
According to a police source cited by La Capitale, “It is clearly a miracle that there were no injuries. We are dealing with real crazy people who no longer have any code of honor and no longer have the slightest limits. They act like they’re playing a video game.”
