Video coming out of Brussels, Belgium shows a man in an orange jacket opening fire on a group of civilians. No motive has been stated yet, but according to the Associated Press, the shooter is still at large. As of right now, only two victims are known and both are Swedish civilians. Sweden's national football team are playing Belgium in a Euro 2024 qualifier, although it's unclear whether the victims were in the city for the match.

Update: Video of the shooter has been posted on Twitter. It's being reported that the terrorist describes himself as a “soldier of Allah” and claims to be on a mission to “avenge Muslims”. There have been more attacks after this first video.

Second Update: The shooter is still at large. More dead victims have been recorded in the back of a van. We will not be posting that footage for obvious reasons, but you can find it very easily. The on-going soccer game in the city has been cancelled at the half.
