A man suspected of shooting two Swedish people dead before Monday's Euro 2024 qualifier between Belgium and Sweden in Brussels has died.

This is after he was shot and arrested by Police in a cafe in Brussels this morning.

The match was abandoned at half-time by UEFA after the incident which is being described by Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo as a "brutal terrorist attack".

The two people killed were Swedish - and a third person was wounded in the attack.

Belgian authorities have raised the terror alert to its highest level in the capital.

"Last night three people left for what was supposed to be a wonderful soccer party," De Croo said.

"The perpetrator targeted specifically Swedish supporters who were in Brussels to attend a Red Devils soccer match. Two Swedish compatriots passed away. A third person is recovering from severe injuries," De Croo said.

The shooting took place around 45 minutes before kick-off and three miles (5km) from the stadium.
