BRUSSELS: A gunman shot dead three people, two of them policemen, in the eastern Belgian city of Liege on Tuesday before being killed by elite officers, prosecutors told AFP. The shooting occurred around 10:30 am (0830 GMT) near a high school on a major artery in the city, which lies some 90 kilometres (55 miles) east of Brussels. The gunman was shot dead by an elite police unit, prosecutors said. Belgium further raised its terror alert level after the Paris attack, and placed the capital Brussels on lockdown for a week. Belgium was then hit by its own IS suicide attacks on Brussels airport and a metro station which killed 32 people.--AFP
