A gunman has opened fire in the centre of the Belgian city of Liege, killing at least three people and wounding 75.<\/p>\n

The man also threw grenades into a crowded square from a rooftop before killing himself, reports say.<\/p>\n

The attacker was named as Nordine Amrani. He was known to police for firearms offences.<\/p>\n

Earlier reports said at least two more men were involved, but officials said the attacker acted alone. Terrorism was not a cause, they added.<\/p>\n

Amrani was jailed for 58 months in September 2008 for possessing firearms and drugs, media reports said.<\/p>\n

Officials did not confirm this, but said they were aware he had spent some time in prison.<\/p>\n

Blood on cobblestones<\/span><\/p>\n

Amrani had been asked to come for an interview at a police station in connection with charges against him.<\/p>\n

A resident of Liege, he left home with a rifle, a pistol and three grenades in a bag, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Greg Ienco, a journalist at local newspaper La Meuse-Li\u00e8ge, described the scene of the attack.<\/p>\n

“We saw four explosions. I was in a building 200m from Saint Lambert Square,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It was quite incredible. We saw one man on the roof who tried to kill people. This man killed himself with a grenade.”<\/p>\n

Two of the three dead were teenage boys aged 15 and 17, the third a 75-year-old woman.<\/p>\n

TV images showed blood splattered across the cobblestones of Place Saint Lambert, where the attack happened.<\/p>\n

Doctors at a city hospital are trying to save the life of an 18-month-old child injured in the attack. Several others are reported to be in a serious condition.<\/p>\n

Medical staff at a field hospital at the scene treated 52 of the injured. Some others made their own way to other hospitals.<\/p>\n

Roads into the centre of Liege were sealed off but vehicles are now coming back into the city.<\/p>\n

Explosives experts were called in to search the area for unexploded grenades. People were initially told to stay in buildings but are now returning to the streets.<\/p>\n

Place Saint Lambert is a busy intersection, served by hundreds of buses daily. It hosts an annual Christmas market which attracts some 1.5 million visitors a year.<\/p>\n
