The previous shooting happened around 06:15 on Wednesday in Jorezstraat, near Clemenceau station. Surveillance footage shows two individuals firing an automatic rifle into the air. Authorities believe the incident is linked to the drug scene rather than terrorism. Federal police special intervention units searched the metro tunnels, and a manhunt is ongoing.
