STRASBOURG, France - Hundreds of French security forces were deployed on Wednesday in the hunt for a lone gunman who killed at least three people and wounded a dozen others at the famed Christmas market in Strasbourg, with the government raising the security alert level and reinforcing border controls.

About 350 people, including police, troops and helicopters were on the heels of the attacker who had "sowed terror" in the city, Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said.

The killer opened fire at around 8 pm on Tuesday on one of the city's busiest streets, sending crowds of evening shoppers fleeing for safety. Castaner said the gunman had killed three people and wounded 12.
