Another shooting incident occurred in Anderlecht, a suburb of Brussels, once again shocking local residents.
On the evening of February 17th, the fourth shooting in the past two weeks took place near the Saint-Guidon metro station. As a result of the incident, a man was injured and received medical assistance. The police have launched an investigation.
Local residents are expressing serious concerns about the safety situation in the area. According to one resident, “You are afraid to go outside at any time of day.” Law enforcement agencies believe that the situation is exacerbated by clashes between criminal groups involved in the illegal drug trade.
Fearing being caught in the crossfire, locals are reaching out to the authorities, even calling for the army to be deployed on the streets to restore order. The police continue to search for the shooter, who, according to preliminary information, was riding an electric scooter and fired one shot before fleeing the scene.
