This is the best summary I could come up with:
A man accused of killing two Swedish soccer fans in a suspected terror attack is dead after being tracked down by police in Belgium on Tuesday morning.
A manhunt was launched after two Swedish men were killed Monday night in the city by a man who authorities said had claimed to be inspired by the Islamic State group.
“We would like to thank the intelligence and security services, as well as the public prosecutor’s office, for their swift and decisive action last night and this morning,” she said on the social platform X.
Brussels was hosting an international soccer match on Monday night between the men’s national teams of Belgium and Sweden, which was abandoned at half time after news of the shootings emerged.
In the same statement, the Swedish nationality of the victims was mentioned as the possible motive for the attack,” De Croo said, citing video posted to social media.
In a video posted to social media and verified by NBC News, a person in an orange jacket on the street can be seen waving what appeared to be a gun amid the sound of gunfire.
