In Antwerp, an eleven-year-old girl died after she was shot. The crime is probably related to the Belgian drug environment, a police spokesman for the German news agency confirmed on Tuesday. According to the information, shots were fired at a garage door in the Merksem district on Monday evening and people were hit in the garage. The girl died a little later.
Two other people were injured in the shooting in Antwerp. An investigation must now determine whether the case actually has anything to do with the drug environment, according to the spokesman. According to media reports, the girl is the niece of a man wanted for drug trafficking.
Detonation of explosives for doors or garages
In the port city of Antwerp, there are repeated cases of violence related to drug-related crime. According to the police spokesperson, shots or explosives have often been used to intimidate people in front of doors or garages. However, it is the first time that people have been injured.
Find and punish those responsible
Politicians in Belgium were shocked by the case. “Children have nothing to do with a drug war,” wrote Interior Minister Annelies Verlinden on Twitter. “The drug mafia cannot go any lower,” wrote Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne. Police and prosecutors would do everything they could to find and punish those responsible.
