Several people have been wounded in a shooting incident in the eastern French city of Strasbourg, police say. The French Interior Ministry confirmed a "serious public security incident" in the city and urged residents to stay indoors. The shooting is said to have happened close to a Christmas market in one of the central squares, Place Kleber. One report citing the French fire department said one person had been killed, but this was not confirmed. Security official have cordoned off the area and trams have been stopped, according to reports. Local journalist Bruno Poussard wrote on Twitter that there had been a dozen shots fired on his street in the city centre - one or two to begin with, then in bursts. Emmanuel Foulon, a press officer for the European Parliament, wrote that there was "panic" in the centre following the sound of gunfire and that police with guns were running through the streets. Strasbourg deputy mayor Alain Fontanel tweeted: "Shooting in downtown Strasbourg. Thank you all for staying home while waiting for a clarification of the situation."

Right after CNN’s breaking news on the Titanic sinking.
If you make your holidays Sharia compliant this crap doesnt happen. Look at Egypt or Saudi Arabi. They never have Christmas shooting.

Sounds like a Scottish name.
Various media outlets are reporting that the perp is a known wolf.
Looks like lefties on Twitter are giving up on trying to blame the gilets jaunes for this.
Various media reporting perp is a Fiche S.

Dear Mr. Macron, if you are reading this, I can help.
Just promise to build a super mosque under the Eiffel tower, with prayer calls from on top of the tower. And grow a beard.
Now I’m wondering if Macron has expended more manpower on surveilling gilets jaunes than Islamists...
I was at their Christmas market three years ago right after the Paris bombings. The military was patrolling but we felt safe. No problems at all.
This town is very pretty. Too bad violence has found it.
Does this mean Teddy Bears and flowers, or chants of “We are Strong” ? I need to get my Facebook meme ready.
The Muslims and the American Left hate Christ and Christians, so naturally they want to destroy the celebration of the Savior’s birth. Muslims do it with guns and knives. American Leftists do it with lawyers and lawsuits.
Fiche S, flagged as a serious threat to national security.
Thank god thats not a problem, as Macron doesnt believe in nations. And here I was, so worried.
Remember the bad old days of the O’Bummer Reign of Error, when the minute the media announced a Muslim attack, someone rushed out of the Oval Office with the message that the attack was NOT A TERROR ATTACK, and the government would be on the lookout for any ill-will against followers of the prophet Mohammed.
Thank God for President Trump.
