A person with a gunshot wound was treated in Molenbeek at around 22:40 on Saturday, according to Walter Derieuw, spokesperson for the Brussels fire brigade.
Emergency services were dispatched to Rue de l’École for a gunshot injury. The victim was stabilised at the scene and taken to the hospital.
Their condition is currently unknown, and the exact circumstances of the incident remain unclear.
Last week, a similar incident occurred on Rue de l’École, near the police station.
Police from the Brussels-West zone, covering Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Koekelberg, Jette, Berchem-Sainte-Agathe, and Ganshoren, responded to reports of an injured man.
A 17-year-old boy had been shot in the legs and received first aid before being transported to the hospital.
Initial investigations suggested that gunfire happened at Bonnevie Park, where bullet impacts and projectiles were found, the public prosecutor’s office reported.
The Brussels prosecutor will hold a press conference on Tuesday, 12 August, to address recent shootings in the capital, providing an overview of documented incidents and detailing the authorities’ response.
