Thousands of fans at a Strasbourg basketball stadium on lockdown during last night's shooting sang the French national anthem together in solidarity with the victims of the deadly attack.
Spectators at the game between SIG Strasbourg and Olimpija Ljubljana were told to remain inside the Rhenus Sport arena when the shooting broke out.
The nearby European parliament was also placed on lockdown.
Some 5,000 fans were told to remain inside the Rhenus Sport arena in Strasbourg while the Christmas market shooter was still active
Instead of panicking, fans joined together and calmly sang 'La Marseillaise' - the national anthem of France - in a tribute to those caught up in the violence in northeastern city.
In a video taken by SIG Strasbourg basketball club, the 5,034 fans can be heard singing the rousing closing refrain - 'Marchons, marchons! Qu'un sang impur Abreuve nos sillons!'
The lyrics are a battle cry, meaning 'Let's march, Let's march! May impure blood Water our fields!'
Composer Rouget de Lisle originally named the anthem 'Chant de guerre pour l'armée du Rhin' – or 'War song for the Rhine Army' – but it became known as 'La Marseillaise' after it was sung by revolutionaries from Marseilles as they descended on Paris in 1792.

The basketball fans were later evacuated safely, but the incident, in which a gunman opened fire at a Christmas market, claimed three lives. A further 14 were injured.
French authorities have launched an investigation and a manhunt for the suspect, 29-year-old Cherif Chekatt, who was known to the intelligence services as a potential security risk and would have been under partial surveillance.
On Tuesday, his home was searched by police, who reportedly discovered grenades and a rifle.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
