A house in the Brussels municipality of Anderlecht was shot at in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The shooting occurred at 1:40 a.m. on the facade of a building, composed of a professional room and a dwelling, near Place Lemmens in Anderlecht, the Brussels Public Prosecutor’s Office has now confirmed.
Initial reports suggested that the shooting took place on the corner Place Clemenceau, but the scene was later confirmed to be about a ten minutes’ walk away.
The Brussels Public Prosecutor also confirmed that 23 bullet holes and two failed molotov cocktails had been found at the scene. Initial unconfirmed reports suggested 15 shots and one molotov cocktail had been found.
It is not yet known whether there is a link with the shootings that took place in the past few days on Saint-Guidon Square, or with previous shootings at the Clemenceau metro station and in the Peterbos neighbourhood in Anderlecht.
Since the beginning of February, those shootings, linked to the drug environment, have already left two dead and three wounded.
