Madman mimicked terrorist
This is how police officers decide whether to shoot
In Schwanenstadt in Upper Austria, a criminal (46) pretended to be a terrorist for "fun" and virtually reenacted an attack on a train. Before he was arrested, he triggered a major operation - he is now in custody. The national operational trainer for the police explains what officers need to look out for in such situations.

It was unclear until the last second whether he was actually armed or even carrying a bomb. Fortunately, neither was the case. But before the mentally ill man surrendered and lay down on the platform, police officers faced him with an assault rifle at the ready and had to decide whether to pull the trigger or not. But how do you make such a life or death decision in a matter of seconds?
