A man died last night following shots fired in Comines, Hainaut. The facts occurred near the MJC cultural center. According to the prosecution, a first shot was fired by an individual, as a warning shot. A second shot hit a victim, who did not survive.
The author of the fatal shot tried to flee but he lost control of the car he was driving and he found himself in a bad position on the banks of the nearby river, the Lys. He then made the choice to abandon the vehicle and swim across the river to reach France, where we lose track of him.
The individual – who would be of French origin, according to the judicial authorities – is actively sought by the Belgian and French police. The case was put under investigation at the Tournai public prosecutor’s office. As for the victim, his body will be autopsied on Saturday. His identity has not been revealed.
According to The voice of the North, it might be a settling of scores.
