5 dead(2 teens, an elder, a baby and the guy who did it) and 123 injured, actually.

There was also one man who dun' it, and the court house was never hit in the attack. His target was killing as many people as possible. (which is why he threw the grenades into the christmas market and the bus stops, which were filled with teenagers returning from exams)

It could've been a lot worse, it turned out, because they discovered he threw three grenades, then emptied a clip of his machine gun. When he went to toss a 4th grenade, he screwed up and it blew him up instead.

World's going crazy, bro...

They went to his house and found a dead body, apparently

Wait, whaaaat? I didn't read anything like that in the newspaper.

They found suspicious packages in his car and blew it up with a controlled explosion, but it turned out to just be a massive amount of car parts, no detonators. They DID go to a hangar that was registered to his name where he went to 'work' a lot, and there were a lot of investigators running in and out all night, but they didn't say if they found anything of interest.

Edit : I stand corrected, just listened to the news on the radio. They did find a body in his house, the corpse of his cleaning lady. The elder that they thought was dead actually survived, but the death toll remains the same. (due to the discovery of the woman's corpse in his house)

5 people are still in critical condition, but it wasn't said how many people would be left handicapped. (due to losing limbs and such)

It was also discovered that while a grenade did blow up besides the gunner, he had actually shot himself in the head before it blew up, he had shot himself as soon as police officers made it onto the square, to avoid getting captured.

The city of Antwerpen, not the province? 'Bout, like, 100 kilometers? Or 66ish miles.

I was talking to Hakker a day or two ago about this and he was like "You can't prove anything." Shall we alert the proper authorities to the threat of a certain Jonas from Leneer?

Go right ahead, they misspell my name so often you'll never find my anyway.
