CHRISTMAS Market season is well underway for 2018, with millions of Britons expected to enjoy festivities around the world. Last night, Strasbourg Christmas Market was the scene of a suspected terror attack. A travel expert has advised how using Google Maps could help visitors to the Markets stay safe.
Christmas Markets are a highlight of the season for many families in the UK and Europe, with millions of Britons planning to enjoy what the UK and abroad have to offer this winter. But sadly the markets have become a target for terror, with the Berlin terror attack at the Christmas Market in December 2016, killing 12 and injuring 56 people. More recently, it was reported that several people were hurt at a Christmas market in Strasbourg, France last night, December 11. A "serious public security incident" was announced in the city, and residents were urged to stay indoors.
The Deputy Mayor of Strasbourg, Alain Fontanel, tweeted that there had been a shooting in downtown Strasbourg. One local reporter claimed that "a dozen" shots had been fired - two or three to begin with, followed by bursts.
