One person was shot dead and three were stabbed near a preschool in France on Friday — and the shooter remains "on the run," according to reports.

An 18-year-old man was shot in the chest not far from the unnamed school in the La Milliere section of Marseille around 5 p.m. local time, according to unconfirmed local reports cited by the UK Express.

At least three others were injured before the shooter fled, prompting a police hunt for him, according to the outlet.

It is unclear if the shooter was also the knife-wielder.

"A man was shot dead and three others injured near a kindergarten in Marseille. The author of the shots is on the run and wanted," the local news channel AR1 tweeted Friday, using the French term for preschool.
