Shooter caught
Shooting in Vienna: one victim seriously injured
Major operation in Vienna-Floridsdorf: several shots are said to have been fired in Arbeiterstrandbadstraße. According to police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger, the area was cordoned off in the afternoon. One person was seriously injured and the suspected shooter was arrested.
"Emergency calls were received at around 1.30 p.m. due to suspected gunshots," the investigators said. A large area was cordoned off. As it turned out, the person who had been shot was taken into a vehicle by companions, which drove off in an unknown direction. The suspect, who was in legal possession of several firearms, retreated to a detached house in the meantime.
As it turned out a short time later, the injured person had already been taken to Vienna General Hospital and was out of danger. The victim was a 27-year-old man who was reportedly shot in the legs.
The police searched addresses for the shooter, who was arrested shortly before 4 p.m. in a detached house in Sandrockgasse. The police surrounded the house and the perpetrator surrendered. The suspect is a 52-year-old Austrian.
Victim carried out work on the shooter's roof
The suspect's elderly mother was also found during the arrest. The murder weapon is said to be a small-caliber gun. The incident took place in the vicinity of a building cleaning company. The background was initially unclear. According to "Krone" information, the later victim was carrying out work on the roof of the 52-year-old suspect. Why the incident finally escalated on Monday is still under investigation.
