Manhunt after three killed in Strasbourg Christmas market shooting.
https://www.itv.com/news/2018-12-12/strasbourg-christmas-market-shooting/Hundreds of police are hunting a gunman who killed three people near a Christmas market in Strasbourg on Tuesday evening.
French anti-terror police are investigating the shooting, with interior minister Christophe Castaner saying 350 officers are hunting for the man who was already known to security services.
The 29-year-old alleged gunman, from the city in eastern France and named in French media as Cherif C, has served prison sentences in France and Germany for common law offences.
He exchanged fire with armed officers as he "sowed terror", Mr Castaner said.
The suspect was shot and injured by soldiers guarding the Christmas market, but he escaped in a taxi, BFM TV said.
In the wake of the attack, which also left 11 people injured, five of whom are in a critical condition, the French government has increased its security alert to the highest level.
WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE SUSPECT
He has been named in the French media as Cherif C, who was born in Strasbourg in February 1989.
The suspect was subject of a 'fiche S', literally an S card, which is used by police to flag someone who is considered a threat to national security. Although not grounds for arrest, a fiche S allows surveillance.
Interior minister Christophe Castaner said the suspect was known to police services and had served time in prison in France and Germany for common law offences.
BFMTV said the suspect was known to be
part of radicalised networks in Strasbourg and was a "repeat offender" and a "delinquent".
His home was subject of a search on Tuesday morning as part of investigations into a robbery. He was not in but grenades were found.
