This Saturday evening, police officers from the Boraine police zone were called to intervene on the Boussu side, at rue de Binche. At the scene, they faced a particularly agitated and aggressive individual, who did not hesitate to shoot a weapon towards them. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. “We would like to emphasize the coolness of our agents, who did not respond even though they did not know whether the weapon was fake or real. Such an intervention might have led to the death of someone,” said the Boraine police zone this Sunday.
According to our information, the facts took place in the context of a family dispute between a couple, having led the individual responsible for the shooting to threaten his spouse. “The individual was particularly agitated and appeared turbulent during the intervention but also followingwards, during the night.” According to the mayor of Boussu, the individual was under the influence of alcohol and was shooting with blank ammunition.
The man was deprived of his liberty. Investigative duties are underway. The Mons public prosecutor’s office was informed of the case and confirmed that it was an alarm gun.
