A Fort Chabrol took place from 4:45 p.m. in the center of Mettet. According to the colonel of the Val de Sambre zone, the DSU, the special units of the federal police, intervened.
A man in his fifties had taken refuge in his home where “there would be many weapons“, selon Marc Gilbert. “And gunshots would have been heard“, he explains.
Live interrogation
A neighbor contacted us via the orange Alert us button. “He fired numerous shots but with a small pellet rifle“, he told us by telephone. “The special units try to talk with him but it takes a long time.“
During our conversation, our witness stops for a moment: “That’s it, the door opens and four police officers enter“, he says live. “It seems to be going peacefully.“
According to Marc Gilbert, the man was to be taken to a psychiatric unit by private paramedics but he refused to follow them and locked himself in his home.
According to him, there were no injuries to report.
