Woman raised the alarm
Major operation ended after “shots fired” in Vienna
There was another large-scale operation in Vienna on Saturday morning: a local resident reported hearing gunshots in Vienna's Landstraße. Police, WEGA and Cobra units were deployed, numerous emergency services and even an armored vehicle were called in. The operation was ended shortly after 12 noon - false alarm!
The scene of the alleged incident was the area around the Apostelgasse/Baumgasse intersection in the third district (an initial report mistakenly referred to Favoriten).
"Banging noises" heard
Police spokesman Markus Dittrich stated that a local resident claimed to have heard "banging noises" or gunshots in a courtyard. Officers then searched the area but were unable to verify the woman's claims.
WEGA, Cobra and an armored vehicle were deployed immediately after the alarm was raised at around 10 o'clock in the morning.
According to eyewitnesses, residents were temporarily not allowed to return to their homes as the area around Apostelgasse was cordoned off for security reasons.
Pictures of the operation:
The operation was ended shortly before midday.
