Victim of a crime?
Man shot in the head on the street?
After an 84-year-old man was found with massive head injuries in front of a residential complex in Amstetten, there was a major alarm. Also because passers-by had previously heard a loud bang. However, a suspected gunshot wound has now been ruled out. However, the background is still unclear.
What happened to the 84-year-old man who was found in a pool of blood by passers-by in Amstetten on Tuesday morning? This question is currently occupying the investigators of the State Office of Criminal Investigation. According to an expert, it is at least clear that an originally suspected gunshot wound can be ruled out. The injury was caused by blunt force trauma. "This could have been caused by an accident or a criminal act", according to the police, a violent crime cannot currently be ruled out.
Large-scale closure
Because earwitnesses had heard a blunt bang shortly before the injured man was found, Amstetten was on high alert for a short time. Cobra and the rapid intervention group were on site, and drones were also deployed. The area was temporarily cordoned off over a large area. The search for a possible armed person was stopped around midday.
Witnesses are currently being interviewed and the crime scene team is investigating where the injured man was found. The 84-year-old himself, who was taken to hospital, cannot yet be questioned. "He is still receiving medical treatment", according to the regional police headquarters.
