(CNN) -- A grenade and gun attack in the eastern Belgian city of Liege left at least two people dead and 64 wounded Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the governor of Liege province said.
A post on the Twitter feed of the Belgian Crisis Center said "one lone individual" had opened fire and was dead.
"The situation is under control at present," the post said.
Spokeswoman Katrin Delcourt of the provincial governor's office earlier said that police were searching for at least one suspect.
A source close to the government, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak to the media, told CNN that a man had thrown explosives in a city center square, Place Saint Lambert.
"We are not sure how many injured and dead there are," he said. "We believe the man died in the explosion. We are also investigating the possibility of a second attacker.
"There has been a meeting of the Internal Affairs department to try to gather as much information as possible."
Liege resident Kevin Hauzeur told CNN he ducked for cover as he heard a "huge explosion and two or three gun shots."
A lot of people were in the area at the time to shop at a Christmas market, Hauzeur said.
The crowd was "spinning around, crying -- it was really chaotic," he said.
He said he had seen what appeared to be the body of an attacker before police cleared everyone from the area. Police told him the man had shot himself, Hauzeur said.
Charles Boisoin, a Liege resident whose apartment overlooks the city center, told CNN he and his neighbors have been told they are not allowed to leave their homes.
He said the city center is virtually deserted and all he can hear and see is helicopters flying overhead.
Photos purportedly from the scene, posted on Twitter by Gaspard Grosjean, showed blood on the sidewalk, as well as police officers and vehicles gathered near the scene.
The Liege fire department said it was responding to an emergency but declined to give details.
No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
