A Nashville man and his wife have been reported as two of the people reported missing in Belgium after a terrorist attack at Brussels Airport and subway.
Justin Shults is a Nashville local, who graduated from Vanderbilt and is originally from Gatlinburg. His wife, Stephanie Shults, is originally from Kentucky, but also received her masters degree from Vanderbilt.
Justin's brother, Levi Sutton, turned to Twitter to ask for prayers.
My brother was at the airport today and we haven't heard from him. Please say a prayer for my family. Please. https://t.co/47yOyo0SbM

Following the attacks, Betty Gragg Newsome told CBS News that her sister, Carolyn Moore, was in Brussels to visit her daughter and son-in-law, Stephanie and Justin.
Gragg-Newsome told WKYT in Lexington that Moore had just spent a week with her daughter and was at the airport to catch her flight home when the attacks occurred.
Gragg-Newsome said her niece, Stephanie, had recently moved to Brussels for work.
Sutton tweeted the good news that Justin and Stephanie were not on the list of casualties.
Mom just received a call from the state department and my brother and his wife are not on the list of known casualties.
