    Hand Grenades and Shooting in Liège

    A major incident is unfolding right now in the Belgian city of Liège.

    The incident reportedly involved the throwing of hand grenades and gun fire from an AK.
    The attack occurred on the Place Saint Lambert, a very busy square in the city center. Even worse is that there is a very popular Christmas market on the square right now.

    For coverage in English see:The Guardian

    This is some scary stuff that city is only 20 miles from my home.
    But no in this open air prison called Europe, responsible citizens are not allowed to carry. We are all at the mercy of what ever is thrown at us.
    On a side note the factory of FN is in a suburb of Liège.


    Update: 4 dead, 123 injured. Lone attacker (dead), no terror related links, known criminal.

    RIP to the fallen. I'm waiting for the news outlets to make excuses for the killer.

    Good to see gun control working out as well for the Belgians as it is for us here in occupied Kalifornia.

    Unless he is an anti-Muslim Belgian Nationalist (if such a thing even exists) - if that is the case then he is the worse thing since Bush.

    The attacker was a muslim-Belgian. He was convicted of having an enormous arsenal of (illegal) weapons, and narcotics crimes in 2008...he was out on parole.

    The spin ohhhhh the dear spin. News outlets (in Belgium and the Netherlands) are questioning the "large" percentage of Belgian citizens legally owning guns. What does that have to do with anything?
