"It's a strange feeling to be standing here today," says Meronika K. She is a teacher at a school not far from the planned attack target. "It was the number one topic in the staff room and in the classroom today. You wonder whether your own pupils would be capable of it."
"I'm afraid for my wife and our small child"
Marzo Jovanovic is also shocked by the recent incidents in Vienna: "I live in the 16th district and am afraid for my wife and our young child when they go outside. There are gangs lurking around every corner, it's threatening."
