A 61-year-old woman from Braine-l'Alleud (Walloon Brabant) was shot dead in her car in Anderlecht (Brussels) yesterday evening police from the Brussels South Zone have confirmed.
The incident happened in the Gheudestraat. Emergency services tried to resuscitate the victim, but she died of her injuries in hospital.
The Brussels public prosecutor's office has opened an investigation. Nothing has yet been said about the exact circumstances of the shooting. It does not look like the incident is linked to the drug scene. Suicide, however, is ruled out.
