If there are 6 ongoing terror/hostage situations, the number of dead will sadly not remain at 7.

Possibly a trained Jihadist, white suit and everything.

Gonna call he got asylum seeker status fairly recently, but we'll have to wait and see.

The first armed Muslim men to attack Vienna in the last 491 years.

How are these muppets getting there hands on AK-47's in Austria?

There is nothing stopping them doing the same in Germany or Scandinavia.

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/02/europe/vienna-shooting-intl/index.html

The Jewish leader said his Synagogue was closed at the time.

"In a statement, police said there were several suspects "armed with rifles" and six different shooting locations. Multiple people have been injured in the city center."

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-03/vienna-suspected-terrorist-attack-shooting-several-injured/12842378

"Rabbi Schlomo Hofmeister said he saw at least one person fire shots at people sitting outside bars in the street below his window.

"They were shooting at least 100 rounds just outside our building," Rabbi Hofmeister said.

"All these bars have tables outside. This evening is the last evening before the lockdown," he added."


Sounds like they did not execute their plans effectively.

Stay safe Tender.

Yugoslavia had one of the biggest militaries in Europe, and stocked AKs like there was no tomorrow.

Civil war, plundering = sh**t tons of missing equipment

That's just one option

This is the perfect time for stuff like this to be happening. People all around the world may take notice, and start sh*t of their own.

Hopefully Trump doesn't notice it and tweets about it.

That's the last thing we'd need.

Only if Antifa were involved.

It looks like a failed terrorist attack against the Jewish community.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-03/vienna-austria-terrorist-attack-shooting-at-least-three-dead/12842378


Police block a street near Schwedenplatz, close to where the shooting took place.(Reuters: Lisi Niesner)

6 men with evil intent brandishing AK-47's and an explosive vest rock up at an empty Synagogue which was already closed.

There may have been an attempt to kidnap and hold hostage the Jewish congregation inside the Synagogue but the nut-cake gunmen were not aware that the Synagogue was closing early because of COVID-19 restrictions.

Plan A out the window, they then resorted to becoming random gunmen on the loose and were borderline-ineffective once the public crowds dispersed rapidly and Police arrived.

If you are in Stockholm of Berlin, you would be on high alert and keen to avoid these things repeating themselves in your city.

In a similar vein, perhaps Vienna was indeed on high alert following the situations developing in France.

Will be interesting to see how Austria responds.

That’s not true:

There have been several terror attacks in Vienna and Austria by Arabs in the 1970s and 80s.

Including against Jews and synagogues.

The latest confirmed number is 2 dead (1 male civilian, 1 female civilian) and 1 dead attacker.

15 are injured by gunshot wounds, 7 of them critically.

There will be a press conference by the police/interior at 6am (in one hour) with updates.

6am press conference to start soon.

Also: school has been called off in Vienna for today, because one or more terrorists could still be fugitive in the city.

Trash-tabloid and TV channel Ö24 has been heavily criticized for airing videos live on air, showing the cold-blooded execution of a civilian and another victim in a sea of blood at another location.

The people have a right to see what is happening.

But yeah, maybe we should stop showing it and start censoring because it's uncomfortable for the #wirhabenPlatz people.

According to the press statement by the police right now, 3 civilians are confirmed dead and one terrorist.

The 3 dead civilians are two men and a woman.

Trump’s take:


Considering he's on stage at a campaign rally right now, I think it's rather unlikely he wrote it himself.

As suspected, the guns are most likely from Yugoslavia.

The pistol he is holding is very likely a M57, i.e. A slightly different TT, although it's hard to tell since the pics of him are low quality.



Considering people still to this day blow up car radar stations with RPGs when they get caught speeding, not really a surprise.

A lot of guns are lying around, but interestingly violent gun crime is fairly low across the board.

Islamist terror attack motive confirmed by the Interior Ministry.

15 victims are in hospital with heavy injuries, but thanks to the swift arrival of ambulances, worse has been prevented.

1 police officer is among the heavy injured.

This might have been just a stop and frisk situation after all.

Also, many of the hostage taking rumours at bars/restaurants and hotels might have been social media hysteria/rumours.

Vienna mayor Michael Ludwig has confirmed a 4th dead civilian person, but that’s unconfirmed by police so far.

It could be that there was only one terrorist after all, but nobody really knows.

Police is looking at numerous videos and images uploaded to them by witnesses.

New York Times:

Vienna Live Updates: Terrorist Attack in Austria Leaves 3 Dead and Many Wounded



Quote
The slain gunman was an ISIS ‘sympathizer,’ an official says.

A terrorist attack in central Vienna on Monday night left at least three people dead and many others wounded, including a police officer, government officials said.

One gunman was killed by the police. Austria’s interior minister, Karl Nehammer, called that gunman an Islamic State “sympathizer” at a Tuesday morning news conference. He did not reveal the man’s name, but he said the police had searched his apartment.

The police were still searching for possible accomplices on Tuesday morning, and officials at the news conference urged people to avoid central Vienna.

But they also appeared to raise the possibility that the slain gunman had acted alone, though the authorities had previously said there were multiple attackers. Mr. Nehammer said the gunman killed by the police had been wearing a belt that looked like an explosive device, but later proved to be fake.

At least 15 people were wounded in the attack and were being treated in hospitals, according to the spokesman for the hospital association. At least seven were wounded seriously, according to Vienna’s mayor.

“It is definitely a terror attack,” said Austria’s chancellor, Sebastian Kurz.

The Vienna police initially said the attack, which began around 8 p.m., had involved “several suspects armed with rifles.”
