Three dead in suspected terror shooting in Belgium

LIEGE, Belgium - A knife-wielding man stabbed two female police officers on Tuesday in the Belgian city of Liege, stole their weapons and shot them and a bystander dead, in a suspected terror attack. The man was later killed by police.

The shooting occurred around 10:30 am near a high school on a major artery in the city, which lies about 90 kilometers east of Brussels.

Federal prosecutors took charge of the incident, which comes with Belgium on high alert after a string of attacks including twin suicide bombings in Brussels in 2016 claimed by the Islamic State group.
