This is the best summary I could come up with:
Two people have been shot dead in the Belgian capital Brussels on Monday evening, police have said.
The AFP news agency said the alleged attacker was still at large, according to prosecutors.
A spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office said an investigation had been opened but did not speculate on the gunman's motive.
Sweden's national football team are playing Belgium in a Euro 2024 qualifier, although it is unclear whether the victims were in the city for the match.
Belgian media reported that the gunman, who used an automatic rifle, fled the scene.
The attack reportedly happened at 19:00 local time (17:00 GMT; 18:00 BST) near the Boulevard d'Ypres in central Brussels.
