A gunman is on the run after one person was killed when shots were fired near a Christmas market in Strasbourg, French police have said.
Ten people were also injured when gunshots were heard just after 8pm in Rue des Orfevres, near the market in Place Kleber, which attracts millions of tourists each year.
Police armed with machine guns were seen running into the square moments later and it was quickly evacuated.
The mayor of Strasbourg, Roland Ries, said the suspect had not yet been apprehended.
Local police said they have identified the gunman and are chasing him down.
The French counter terrorism prosecutor is monitoring the situation, his office said.
