some of europe's worst terror attacks in recent years now the country again finds itself in the crosshairs. let's get more now from max hoffman who is standing by in downtown strasburg max what is happening there right now well life is beginning on a new day here although it is of course a very different situation from yesterday you can see there is activity people are going to work that all cultural events have been called off by the mayor of straw's berg of course the christmas market won't be opening today schools are open but going there is optional for the kids and the fact that the alleged shooter is still on the run is probably making the decision quite easy for some parents not to send their kids to school let's talk a little bit more about that alleged shooter because french prosecutors saying that they are treating this shooting as an act of terrorism what more do we know about the suspect. actually quite
7:05 am
a bit if you consider that they haven't caught him yet he is part of a group of people that are called that are subsidized under file s. file s is a category in friends for radicalized people people that are being watched by the authorities in fact this person twenty nine years old was supposedly. supposed to be arrested yesterday morning we don't know for what but the fact is he wasn't home when the authorities came to take him into custody we've been hearing from some local media outlets that police did find explosives in his apartment but he has been known to the authorities because he served some prison time and we believe that's where he was radicalized we had helicopters above the city almost all night until about three o'clock in the morning that stopped at some point so there was hope this meant that he had been caught by the authorities but so far no confirmation of that the official word is he is still he's still being tracked down
7:06 am
and if we look at how this attack played out i mean the gunman he apparently managed to get inside a security zone around this christmas market max how could that happen. so i wasn't there but i can tell you this on monday when we got here for the official parliament business that took place this week there were heavy controls on the streets leading up to the christmas market they always have hundreds of police offices and also some soldiers guarding the christmas market and as we understand the shooting did not have a directly on the christmas market but beside the christmas market so it's. will just have to wait for the official version but of course it's very hard to guard an entire city like this where you have tens of thousands of people visiting this christmas market especially at this time of year and then we have the security threat level for france has been raised max hoffman there with the very latest from stross baraka where we know that this gunman is still on the run thank you so much
