Today there was an attack on a Belgium military base by a masked gunman…he also had explosives…..
Now I thought they had extreme gun control in Europe…..that is what we are always told….
But what I have found is that criminals, mass shooters and terrorists in Europe can get guns just as easily as American criminals can…this incident shows this to be true.
It remains to be seen what gun or guns the attacker had…..
It also shows why mass shooters in America go to gun free zones…no one shoots back. This guys attack was cut short by good guys with guns….
Shots fired after a masked gunman attacked a Belgian army base
A gunman was arrested in Belgium today after an attempted terrorist attack on a military base using a car feared packed with explosives.
The assault happened soon after 9am in the village of Flawinne, east of Charleroi, where a commando unit is stationed.
Shots were fired after a dark blue Ford Escort was driven through a perimeter fence towards the barracks, said a judicial source from nearby Namur.
"The car did not get through the gates," said the source. "There was a brief gunfight and then the masked man fled from the scene. He appeared to be acting alone."
