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

9 minutes ago

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.

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

1. "No indication as to the mans motive"? He's hollering Allahu Akbar. Theres a tiny clue for them.

4. Many terrorist incidents, especially overseas, are carried out by people hollering that phrase.

Where you been? Very common.
Never heard of a robbery suspect hollering it. Or a domestic dispute. Or pretty much any other type of crime.

5. I can't believe a poster here

even asked you that question. Willful blindness.

6. Curious to understand people's thinking;

believe that.

'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.'

8. Feel free

to post about all the other times someone shouted Allah Akbar for another reason just before they killed someone.

9. Maybe this will assist you: "Belgian investigators have opened a terrorism inquiry..."

There IS an indication as to the mans motive by what he's hollering as he's killing people. SOP for Islamists.
Is it possible that he could've just been yelling it for no apparent reason? Sure. But HIGHLY unlikely.

12. Thanks.

Originally, early post, gave no possible motive, or words he used, and authorities said they didn't have any.

Facts do help.

7. You've got to be kidding

10. As well as being both a delicious and nutritious red-meat for one's consistent narrative.

"Theres (sic) a tiny clue for them...."

As well as being both a delicious and nutritious red-meat for a particularly consistent narrative, regardless of how "tiny" one may allege it to be.

13. Cowering behind an alleged sincerity while questioning the veracity of others' posts is SAD.

One would be better off getting a life.
Pointing out simple punctuation in a post? The desperation to have a purpose reveals much about a poor soul

2. The two police officers were female too

It's pretty bad, there's pictures already of the crime scene
