The prosecutor’s office is investigating
It is the prosecution who will now have to put all the elements in order. “We are in a very muddled sequence which will have to be reconstructed”, confirms Vincent Macq, public prosecutor for the King of Mons. “The facts begin on the place Léopold and seem to stage the occupants of a van and a third person. The occupants of the vehicle are quickly joined by other people. This episode is followed by a pursuit of the single person. »
The prosecution also confirms that two shots were fired. “We found a casing. One person has been arrested and will be interviewed in the next few hours. For the rest, the investigation duties are in progress. The lab descended on the scene. Cameras will be viewed and people interviewed. This may take time because there are many protagonists,” concludes Vincent Macq.
