(11 Dec 2018) Parts of Strasbourg were on lockdown and saw a heavy police presence after a shooting near a Christmas market that killed four people and wounded up to eight on Tuesday. Several were reported to be in critical condition. Security officials were vetting people emerging from the area where residents earlier described hearing a series of gunshots and screaming during the attack near the market in Place Kleber. There was a flurry of emergency and police vehicles entering and exiting the cordoned off area late on Tuesday. French police union officials said the 29-year-old gunman with suspected ties to radicalism was wounded, but is still at large. A terrorism investigation has been opened into the attack.
