The man's motive is not yet clear but the incident is being treated as terrorism.
The gunman was let out from prison on temporary release on Monday where he had been serving time on drug offences. It said that he may have been radicalised while in jail.
Belgium's Prime Minister Charles Michel said he was following the situation closely and expressed his support for those caught up in the shooting.
