The façade of a bar in the Brussels municipality of Anderlecht was shot at on Monday night. The establishment was located just a stone's throw away from the local police station.
The shooting took place shortly after midnight on Monday. A dozen shots were fired at the façade of the Les Palmiers bar on Square des Vétérans Coloniaux in the Scheut district, Het Laatste Nieuws reported.
"Earlier, a scuffle had reportedly occurred in the café," said spokesperson for the local Brussels Midi police zone (Anderlecht/Saint-Gilles/Forest), Sarah Frederickx. Afterwards, two people were found at another location with minor injuries, but these were not caused by a firearm.
