On Saturday morning, a suspected attempted murder led to a major police operation in Ebensee in Upper Austria.

The Cobra task force surrounded the house and eventually found the man lifeless in the garage.

Wife injured by gunshot
The man then allegedly shot his wife several times with a long gun, hitting her once. "The wife was injured by a gunshot," said police spokesman Michael Babl.
Motive for the crime is likely to be separation
As if by a miracle, the seriously injured victim managed to escape from the house and press charges. A large-scale police operation was then launched. It was initially unclear whether the man was still in the surrounded house. Shortly before midday, the 71-year-old was found lifeless in the garage, whereupon the search was stopped. He is believed to have committed suicide.
The 61-year-old was out of danger on Saturday morning and could still be questioned on Saturday. However, details of the interrogations are not yet known. The woman and the man had apparently already separated, the scene of the crime was presumably in the woman's apartment. Whether the 71-year-old was still living in the house and how long the two had been separated could not yet be determined.
