Apparently the gunman is already known to security services as a possible terrorist suspect. 

He is wounded, though currently on the run....

Sickening. I was there 2 weeks ago......

It's bloody awful at any time, although Christmas wont be the same for many people.

Anti-terrorist police are at the scene...

Casualty figures may rise. Awful, awful incident.

Sick b4stards. I know what I would do to him, if I got my hands on him. Again innocent people suffering for a fanatic's cause.

It might appear as if the whole EU community would benefit of imposing restrictions not only to young, brutal extremists (still demanding to be called migrants) who mix wth those who truly suffer from domestic war or religious conflicts, but keeping an eye on hidden terrorists - i.e. people who already settled in Europe in recent decades, aiming to spread malicious, horrific attacks among Europe and favourably appreciating Islamic State rules and ways it acts in Middle East.

Four have died now and seven of the injured are said to be in a serious condition. Apparently the police have now cornered the gunman so awaiting devekopments. The thing that saddens me more is that the people carrying out these atrociies  are on a watch list but appear to be 'low down' amongst literally thousands.

The police have found the gunman, shot and killed him tonight.
