The 44-year-old man from Ghent phoned the local police
around 21.20, stating that he had heard several gunshots in the Hells Angels
club room. 'According to the report, there would be a quarrel and some people
would have fled the room', says press magistrate An Schoonjans of the Ghent
department of the public prosecutor of East Flanders.
There were deployed heavily armed agents, a helicopter and special units (POSA). Certainly two men were taken into a police combination. The police immediately went on the spot. The club room is
located on the Brusselsesteenweg in Gentbrugge, near the entrance and exit of
the E17.
The traffic coming from the exit was diverted by the special assistance team of the Ghent local police. 'All persons present had to leave the room and the police conducted a search,' says Schoonjans. "Nothing suspicious was found.

The eleven persons present were taken by the police for questioning,
but they were allowed to go home after the call was false. ' The police started
the action on Monday at 10 pm, which lasted until 0.30 am.
The caller could be identified and arrested by the police.
'During his interrogation last night he confessed that the appeal was false and
that he made up the facts', says the press magistrate.
Criminal prosecution
The forty is no stranger to police and justice. He will be
prosecuted, says the prosecutor. Should the case come to court, the Hells
Angels might claim damages. But it will probably not come that far.
In 2016 there was a shooting at the club room, but the
shooter was not found.
