A series of bomb explosions shook Brussels Tuesday morning over a span of 80-plus minutes, leaving at least 31 dead and sending the region into a state of high alert.
The death count is likely to rise, authorities cautioned. Another 187 or more have been injured.
Details are still emerging, but the latest reports revealed that among the injured were three Mormons from Utah, visiting the Brussels area for missionary work.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a statement identifying them as 66-year-old Richard Norby of Lehi, 20-year-old Joseph Empey of Santa Clara and 19-year-old Mason Wells of Sandy.
A U.S. official told CBS News correspondent David Martin an American military family was also among the injured.
In a statement, the Department of Defense said: "One U.S. service member and his family who were caught up in this tragedy. Due to privacy concerns, we are not releasing the status of their injuries at this time."
Defense Department and U.S. Embassy officials tell CBS News they expect the number of American casualties in Brussels will go higher because there are many Americans who work in Brussels.
"All @Eurostar trains to #Brussels suspended after attacks at airport and metro," BBC tweeted.
Fox News reported shots were fired at the airport by an individual who shouted in Arabic, then an explosion rocked the facility.
Brussels has raised the terror alert to its highest level; London is on high alert, as well as Paris.
