do we also have a thread for mass shootings?  I thought they were merged...

At this point we have no idea what this is.

Religion of peace not confirmed. Suspect was on watchlist though (fiché S) and it would not be the first time a Christmas market would be attacked by terrorists.
This low-cost terrorism used to have no access to automatic fire arms, if confirmed this even more worrying.

L'auteur s'appelle Chérif C., est né en 1989

Selon les informations du Figaro, l'auteur présumé de la fusillade s'appelle Chérif C. et est né en 1989.

It does not look like a "near 30 years-old rage afflicted individual".

4 dead people reported now, according to police sources.

Strasbourg is 1h50 away by TGV. 
As for the "jihadi gangster", he has quite a record, 27 conviction in France, Germany and Switzerland. The first one when he was 10.
Lately, bank robbing.


Official now:

Islamist terrorism

Procureur de Paris : "Des témoins l'ont entendu crier "Allah akbar'" (sic) Allah 'o akbar (French translitteration)
Le procureur explique qu'il s'agit bien d'un acte terroriste. Ceci parce que le tueur a crié «Allah akbar» au moment de son action selon des témoins et que son profil correspond à celui d'un petit délinquant radicalisé.

» Le profil hybride de Chérif C., fiché S radicalisé et braqueur de banques

Among the victims, a Thai tourist.

Another very bad terror attack in France. We are going to strengthen our borders even more. Chuck and Nancy must give us the votes to get additional Border Security!

If a guy shoots 3 people in the US, does that even become national news anymore?

It does if the perp's a Muslim.

It's not enough by it self. I'm sure a Muslim man shooting up his own family wouldn't make national news. Victims have to be white, cops/military or religious.

There's a Thai tourist among the victims in Strasbourg, so the jury is still out on this one.

A true leftist would walk, to minimize his carbon footprint.  As I said, too far away for Québécois leftwing extremists
