Four dead, 123 injured in Belgium attack

A LONE gunman armed with grenades opened fire on a square packed with children and Christmas shoppers in the eastern Belgian city of Liege, killing three people and injuring 123 before shooting himself in the head.

Officials named the gunman as Nordine Amrani, 33, a known criminal who had been summoned by police yesterday morning but who never showed up.

“It’s uncertain yet whether he killed himself or whether his weapons exploded,” public prosecutor Danielle Reynders said.
