The university campus of Courtrai was evacuated after the presence of a gunman was reported. The police are on the spot and are searching the school buildings. Students were asked to stay in cover until the situation is clarified. The alert went off this morning after a phone call from a student to the police.
It would be the applied sciences campus of the city of Flemish Belgium, which informed the students on Twitter that it had suspended classes, informing them that «The police are looking for a suspect and it could take some time. Call your family to tell them you’re okay. ‘ No casualties are reported at the moment.
Update: the Kortrijk campus is currently completely in lockdown. Searching for 1 person. Stay inside. If you’re not on campus yet, stay home. Keep an eye on our socials for news. Stay safe.
