STORYLINE:
The Prime Ministers of Sweden and Belgium gathered in Brussels to remember the Swedish soccer fans killed in the Belgian capital in October 2023.

Glass shattered windows from the gunfire still remain at the scene.

Emil Lundstrom, son of victim Patrick Lundstrom, said he had attended the service as it was important for for him to honour his father.

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, who laid a wreath with his Belgian counterpart Alexander De Croo, said his "firm goal is for every Swede to be able to be a proud Swede being abroad wearing the Swedish shirts for example for soccer.”

Two Swedish men were killed and a third was wounder after a Tunisian Islamic extremist opened fire with an semiautomatic rifle on October 16, 2023, near a soccer stadium where Belgium’s men’s soccer team was hosting Sweden.

The attack forced the lockdown of more than 35,000 people in the stadium where they had gathered to watch Belgium play Sweden.

Authorities in the Belgian capital shot and killed the Tunisian national hours after the shootings in 2023.
