(AFP) Victims of the Jewish museum attack in Brussels were shot with “surgical” precision, first responders said Monday at the trial of French national Mehdi Nemmouche.
Nemmouche, 33, the alleged jihadist gunman, faces life in prison if convicted of the charges of murdering four people during the anti-Semitic attack on May 24, 2014.
Paramedics who attended the scene told the Brussels criminal court they first found a man and woman dead in the museum’s entrance hall. Each had been shot in the head at point blank range.
Inside the museum reception they then found a third victim who was “unconscious and shaking violently” before sedating him in order to provide first aid.
