Streets have been closed and armed police special forces units deployed to a southern suburb of Brussels after reports of a possible murder.

A police helicopter could be heard overhead in the Forest district of the Belgian capital, while images from the scene show armed officers taking cover and staking out a building rooftop.

A spokesperson for Belgian police denied local media reports that a gunman was hiding in the area, telling the Reuters news agency: “They are searching the buildings but we can say there has not been any terrorist attack.”
