Cobra Operation in Upper Austria
Man Threatened His Mother’s Caregiver with a Gun
Chaotic scenes on the night before All Souls’ Day in the Innviertel region: During an argument with his mother’s caregiver, a man allegedly retrieved a pistol and threatened the Romanian woman with it. The young woman managed to flee into a room and raise the alarm. Police and the Cobra unit arrived quickly on the scene and were able to arrest the dangerous suspect.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The Innviertel resident was apparently dissatisfied with the performance of the 24-hour caregiver for his 84-year-old mother. Late in the evening, an argument reportedly broke out in the single-family home in Pischelsdorf am Engelbach, which eventually escalated dangerously. The 63-year-old man retrieved a handgun, which he legally owned, and is said to have threatened the Romanian woman with it.
The young woman managed to flee into a room and lock the door behind her. From there, she called a relative to inform them of her predicament, and the relative notified the police at 10:24 p.m.
Cobra Operation Launched
A large contingent of police officers quickly arrived on the scene and surrounded the house. Special forces from the Cobra unit also arrived at the scene. A negotiation team eventually managed to contact the suspect by phone and persuade him to surrender.
Gun Stowed Back in Safe
The 66-year-old then actually came to the front door and allowed himself to be arrested without resistance at 1:29 a.m.; he is also said to have been under the influence of alcohol (approximately 1 per mille). He had already locked the pistol back in the safe. His mother likely did not notice anything about the incident. No one was injured.
“We are currently investigating the man on suspicion of making a dangerous threat with a firearm,” confirmed Franz Joseph Zimmer, spokesperson for the Ried im Innkreis District Attorney’s Office. The 63-year-old was taken to the correctional facility. A decision on whether to place him in pretrial detention will likely not be made until Tuesday.
