Default Liege shooting: Two police and passer-by dead in Belgium

A man has shot dead two police officers and a passer-by in the centre of the eastern Belgian city of Liège before being killed himself.

Police told the BBC the attacker had been "neutralised" and that the situation was now under control.

Two other police officers were injured and the man also took a woman hostage, according to reports in Belgian media.

Details are still emerging and there is no indication yet as to the man's motive.

"We don't know anything yet," a spokesperson for the Liege prosecutor's office told the AFP news agency.

Belgium remains on high alert after attacks in 2016 claimed by the Islamic State group left 32 people dead. Brussels-based militants were also involved in the 2015 Paris attacks.

Police sources quoted in local media said the man was heard shouting Allahu Akbar ("God is greatest" in Arabic).

Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon said the country's anti-terrorist crisis centre was monitoring the situation.

We are at the stage with these senseless slayings where a lot of people are blase about them but I never fail to feel outraged.

RIP to the innocent victims - and the probably hundreds of other innocents whose lives are now shattered by the loss or injuries of their loved ones.

No, Parmy, you are not. The entire Western World will never be the same again.

What kind of insanity is it to let terrorists out on day release?

Belgium has very poor security services. It shouldn't come as a surprise. Thing is similar things are not beyond happening here either, just a little bit less likely.

How many people have to die before some people start to question the risk uncontrolled immigration poses to everyone.
