(CNN)Tombstones and a Holocaust memorial in a Jewish cemetery outside Strasbourg, France, were vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti earlier this week.
The vandalism was discovered Tuesday at the Herrlisheim Jewish cemetery hours before a gunman opened fire in Strasbourg’s Christmas market, killing four people and wounding 13. Police killed the suspect Thursday evening, authorities said.
It’s not known whether the vandalism and the attack were connected.
