A man was murdered in Anderlecht, rue Wayez, on the night of September 13 to 14. His body was found riddled with bullets. The case is linked to the drug scene.

Since then, the police have been on alert, with numerous promises of revenge on social networks.

“Last week, there were several incidents with weapons of war,” explains Jurgen De Landsheer, commander of the Midi police zone, interviewed by Bruzz. “We see people moving around with weapons that we should not expect to see in our society. It’s a wake-up call to prepare our workforce as well as possible. »

Colonel Gallant, of the Royal Military School, also interviewed by Bruzz, explains how Kalashnikov bullets are more dangerous than others. “It has to do with the energy and shape of the balls. They emit a lot of energy and must be able to penetrate protection. This poses, first of all, a problem for the population. Let’s imagine that a gangster opens fire with a weapon like this. Even if he aims very well, there is a good chance that a projectile, after reaching its target, will continue its trajectory and injure innocent people. When someone is hit, the bullets pierce the body and can hit someone else. And if they hit a wall or a house, they can bounce in all directions. »

Corps chief De Landsheer announced that he was taking new measures to protect his agents and the population, without giving further details for security reasons. “But we do everything for the safety of Anderlecht residents,” he concludes.
