Gunman shoots police in Liege, leaving four dead and two injured

A gunman has killed two police officers and a passer-by before being shot dead in the centre of the Belgian city of Liege, as investigators work to establish a motive.

A crisis centre official in Belgium said the situation around the shooting site was fully safe, and added there is no reason to increase the terror threat level.

But the crisis centre confirmed it was looking into whether terrorism might have been a motive, and an official at the Belgian federal prosecutor’s office told The Associated Press “there are indications” that the shooting could be a terrorist attack.

The gunman fled the scene, taking a female cleaner hostage at a nearby school before he was shot, the La Libre Belgique newspaper said.

A passenger in a car driving by was killed.

Other police officers were wounded in the exchange of fire, Michel Firket from Liege city hall said.

…The four-time world champion was kept out five laps longer after Raikkonen came in for his only stop, giving Vettel clear air to put in some fast times and ‘overcut’ the Finn, who was visibly unhappy after the race.

“The stony demeanour said it all for Kimi Raikkonen by the close of the Monaco Grand Prix and, while the Ice Man is renowned for giving nothing away in public, that he was not happy at how his race had panned out was clear,” Giles Richards wrote in The Guardian.

Australian fisherman stunned after nine foot shark leaps into his boat https://t.co/vah1lhsu8b

— The Independent (@Independent) May 29, 2017

An Australian fisherman caught a far bigger fish than he hoped for when a 2.7-metre (nine-foot) great white shark leapt into his boat, knocking him off his feet.

Terry Selwood, 73, was left with a badly bruised and bleeding right arm where the airborne shark struck him with a pectoral fin as it landed on him on the deck of the 4.5m (15ft) power boat on Saturday off Evans Head, 450 miles north of Sydney.

Mr Selwood sprung up on the gunnel at the bow of the boat to avoid the thrashing shark and steadied himself by clinging to the tubular metal frame of the sun shelter, known as a bimini.

“I didn’t give it a chance to look me in the eyes. I wanted to get up and get on top of the gunnel because it was thrashing around madly,” Mr Selwood told Australian Broadcasting Corp…
