BRUSSELS—Belgian police sealed off part of a Brussels suburb Thursday and searched two apartments, warning residents to stay inside following witness reports that an armed man could be at large. The area in the Forest neighbourhood was reopened after about three hours and police spokeswoman Kathleen Calie later confirmed the incident was not terror-related. During the search, Associated Press television images showed armed police officers hiding behind buildings and staking out a rooftop. Masked police, some with automatic weapons, were aiming their guns high at a building near the Place Saint-Denis. The incident began after a Polish man reported what he said was a murder, Calie said.
