A fourth person has died as a result of the Strasbourg shootings, the Paris prosecutor has announced, reports Euronews.
“The person had been fighting for their life,” an official in the prosecutor’s office said.
Twelve other people were injured, four of those were still hospitalised as of Friday morning, said the prosecutor.
A man believed to be Cherif Chekatt, 29, was shot and killed by police on Thursday evening, two days after the attack. He was spotted leaving a building in the Neudorf area of the city, where he lived. After firing on police, he was killed as they responded.
He had a long history of crime, both in France and in neighbouring Switzerland and Germany. Radicalised in prison in 2015, he had been monitored as a potential terrorist threat by France’s security services.
Strasbourg reopened its Christmas market on Friday under heavy security measures.
