The man suspected of carrying out a terrorist attack at a crowded street market in Strasbourg, France, remains at large as of Wednesday morning, French officials warned.
On Tuesday night, a man who police identified as Cherif Chekatt, 29, opened fire on the city’s Christmas market. After killing at least two people and wounding 12 others, the gunman escaped with a bullet wound to the arm. Authorities believe he commandeered a taxi to flee the scene.
Police had gone to Chekatt’s home on Tuesday morning, before the attack, to arrest him on suspicion of a separate murder. He was not home.
Chekatt was among the tens of thousands of individuals who French security services flagged as likely radicalized and liable to carry out a terror attack.
