The perpetrator of the shooting in Brussels fled on a motorcycle after killing two people: this was the moment of the attack

At least two people have died and several have been injured this Monday after the gun attack near Saintelette Square in Brussels. The shooting occurred shortly after 7:00 p.m., when the individual began shooting with a large-caliber weapon, according to police sources.

Belgian Police prioritize terrorist hypothesis. In addition, several videos have appeared on social networks. One of them can be seen at the moment of the attack, where you can see how a man with an orange reflective jacket and a white helmet arrives on a motorcycle on a sidewalk, throws the vehicle and begins shooting from both sides.

Shortly after, he enters a glass building where he shoots a person who immediately falls to the ground.. In the background, several citizens who witness the scene flee the scene.

In another video, the alleged attacker appears in the foreground and proclaims his membership in the Islamic State and boasts of having killed several infidels.. The speech vindicates his action to “avenge Muslims in the name of those of us who live and die for our religion.”

He had also previously published a message about the six-year-old Palestinian boy murdered this Sunday by a 71-year-old man in Chicago “for being Muslim.”. If he had been a Christian “we would have called it terrorism and not a brutal crime,” he alleged.. Belgian police have not yet linked the people in the videos to the attack.
