Man fires shot with alarm gun at Waregem Christmas market

This happened after a fight in which the man was involved. The public prosecutor of West Flanders reports this on Monday. The man is being brought before the examining magistrate.

At Waregem Wintert it first came to a quarrel and eventually to a fight. The suspect pulled out a pistol and fired a shot. “It is still unclear in which direction shots were fired. No one was injured,” the prosecutor said. The 39-year-old man is being brought before the investigating judge for blows, threats with a weapon and carrying a weapon.
