BRUSSELS—A Tunisian gunman suspected of killing two Swedish football fans in Brussels died on Tuesday after being shot by police in a cafe, hours after an attack which Sweden’s prime minister said showed Europe must bolster security to protect itself.

The 45-year-old, who identified himself as a member of ISIS terrorist group and claimed responsibility in a video posted online, is also suspected of wounding another Swedish national in his attack in central Brussels on Monday night.
