Two shootings were reported on Sunday night in the Brussels municipality of Anderlecht.

Local police were called at around 22:00 to an incident involving gunfire on Rue Georges Moreau in Anderlecht.  Officers discovered several bullet casings at the scene but found neither the suspected perpetrator nor any victims.

Two victims have since come forward of their own accord at the police station in Anderlecht, the Brussels-Midi police zone said.

No further details have been released regarding their condition or the circumstances of the incident.

An investigation has been launched to determine the exact circumstances of the shootings and to identify the perpetrator or perpetrators.
