According to Reuters, Austrian Interior Minister Karl Nehammer. he added that the shooting appears to have originated in a terrorist attack, carried out by several people and against six targets in the center of the city. A police cordon immediately isolated the entire area, but several suspects are still at large, having so far managed to escape what has been described as a true “manhunt”.
There were several injured and at least two dead. The leader of the Austrian Jewish community, Oskar Deutsch, said there was no evidence that the attack was aimed at the Vienna synagogue, located near the site.-
A police officer is among the injured and is in serious condition. One of the suspects responsible for the attack was arrested and another was shot.
The Vienna police made an appeal not to share videos that may have passed passers-by at the time of the shooting, because sharing would endanger the agents involved in the operation, as well as the civilian population.
