Swedish Soccer Team Abandons Match After Pair of Fans Shot Dead in Brussels
Two Swedish nationals were shot dead in Brussels’ city center on Monday evening, part of what the country’s prime minister suggested was a terrorist attack.
The gunman remains on the run, authorities said, and Brussels has since been placed under its maximum security alert level.
“I have just offered my sincere condolences to @SwedishPM following tonight’s harrowing attack on Swedish citizens in Brussels,” Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo tweeted, calling the incident a “cowardly assassination attempt. “As close partners the fight against terrorism is a joint one,” he added.
