>Gunman kills at least four people in French Christmas market
>A gunman killed at least four people and wounded 11 others near a Christmas market in the French border city of Strasbourg on Tuesday evening before being cornered by police.
>The motive was not immediately clear but, with France still on high alert after a wave of attacks commissioned or inspired by Islamic State militants since early 2015, the counter-terrorism prosecutor opened an investigation.
>Some two hours after the attack, elite police cornered the suspect and shots were fired, a source close to the operation said. French media reported the assailant was holed up in a store on the Rue Epinal.
>The Christmas market was being held amid tight security this year, with unauthorized vehicles excluded from surrounding streets during opening hours and checkpoints set up on bridges and access points to search pedestrians' bags.
>Sources familiar with the police operation said the suspect was a 29-year-old whose residence had been raided earlier in the day in connection with a robbery during the summer. The suspect was not in the building at the time.
>The gunman entered the market over a bridge at about 8 p.m. (1900 GMT) before opening fire, the prefecture said, adding that the suspect was a known security risk and on a watch list.
>Some 26,000 individuals suspected of posing a security risk to France are on the "Fiche S" watchlist, of whom about 10,000 are believed to have been radicalized, sometimes in fundamentalist Salafist Muslim mosques, online or abroad.
>European security agencies have feared for some time that Islamist militants who left Europe to fight for Islamic State in Syria and Iraq would return after the jihadist group's defeat, with the skills and motivation to carry out attacks at home.

Late update. Religion of Peace more or less confirmed.
Also the gunman, Cherif Chekatt, is still on the run raising the possibilities for more peace and love from him.
>A gunman on a security watchlist killed three people and wounded a dozen others near the picturesque Christmas market in the historic French city of Strasbourg on Tuesday evening before fleeing.
>Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said the shooter had evaded a police dragnet and was on the run, raising concerns of a follow-up attack.
>Police identified the suspect as Strasbourg-born Cherif Chekatt, 29, who was known to the intelligence services as a potential security risk.
>Castaner said the gunman exchanged shots with security forces twice as he escaped. His whereabouts now were unknown, and elite commandos and helicopters were involved in the manhunt.
>The Paris prosecutor said the motive for the attack was not known. No one immediately claimed responsibility, but the U.S.-based Site intelligence group, which monitors jihadist websites, said Islamic State supporters were celebrating.

Islamic attacks are fake news and I mean that.
The FBI categorizes less than 10% of all 'Terrorist' attacks to be Islam/Religiously motivated.
Eat shit.

Gunman could be screaming allah akbar, and the cops will go "no motive could be determined." It's truly a mystery.

This sounds like one of those things where they contaminate their stats with nothing burgers to get the results that they want. Like how they count a few adult gang niggers killing each other within a few blocks of a school at midnight as a school mass shooting just so they can cry about rises in school violence and demand more tyranic gun control.
What are they doing this time? Classifying the triggering of an sjw as an act of terror to water down the numbers? Or are they taking the britbong approach of mislsbeling the Muslim terrorists as some other demographic like "Asians."

If I was going to give you a stray dog I found and I told you that as far as I am aware there is a less than 10% chance that it has rabies, would you accept it?
