CNN —A gunman suspected of killing two Swedish nationals in a terrorist attack in Brussels has died after being shot by police, bringing an end to an overnight manhunt. The Belgian federal prosecutor’s office confirmed Tuesday that the suspect, whose identity is yet to be confirmed, had been killed. A witness to the attack told Reuters that he heard a first gun shot, saw a couple running away and saw a white car accelerate past. “Horrified by the terrorist attack that claimed two victims in the heart of Brussels,” Belgian Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib posted to X, formerly known as Twitter. Kristersson will travel to Brussels on Wednesday to commemorate and mourn the victims of the attack, he said on X.
