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.
A Belgium-Sweden Euro 2024 qualifier football match has been suspended and fans told to stay inside the stadium.
A video posted on social media showed an Arabic-speaking man claiming he carried out the attack in the name of God.
Federal prosecutors in Belgium have since told the AFP news agency that a terrorism probe has been opened following the shooting on the Boulevard d’Ypres.
A social media video shared by newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws on Monday, but not verified by BBC News, showed a man wearing a fluorescent jacket get off a scooter armed with what appears to be an assault-style rifle before entering a nearby glass-fronted building.
Police and emergency services have cordoned off nearby roads following the shooting which happened at around 19:00 local time (17:00 GMT; 18:00 BST).
