Large-scale police operation
Police open fire on armed man
In the 20th district of Brigittenau in Vienna, an armed man caused a major police operation (see video above)! After making threats on the street, the suspect retreated into an apartment, which the police finally stormed. According to the "Krone", the unknown man is dead.
According to reports, the police were informed about the man armed with a knife at around 9.30 pm. The suspect apparently made threats or at least behaved in a threatening manner. Subsequently, the first shots are said to have been fired.
Little is currently known about the suspected perpetrator, but he later barricaded himself in his apartment on the third floor of a municipal building near Kapaunplatz. A police negotiation team tried to make contact with him on the spot and the WEGA special unit surrounded the house.
Unidentified man fled to the balcony with a long gun
A few minutes later, the suspect was apprehended and, according to "Krone" information, is dead. He had previously pointed a long gun at the officers and had fled to the balcony in the meantime - again aiming at police officers in front of the building.
The police were on the scene with heavy equipment:
A total of two shots had been fired by officers - at least one of the bullets is believed to have fatally struck the suspect.
The police - Cobra and a service dog squadron were also deployed - cordoned off the surrounding area.
