A sad day for Liège.

Yes, Liège made the world news this past Tuesday the 13th when someone decided to take a gun and to randomly spray fire into the crowds of people in Place St. Lambert, one of our most frequented public squares this time of year.

We wish it were for a happier reason that the worlds attention was drawn here, but sadly it wasn't.

People here are understandably shaken.  To the memory of the Liègois, this kind of crime has never happened here before.

We would like to express our sincere condolences to the families of those killed in Place St. Lambert, and to the families of those who are suffering injuries as a result of this horrible happening.  We like many Liègois and Belgians share your grief.
