Vienna shooting: Austria hunts suspects after 'Islamist terror' attack Published4 minutes ago media captionA large-scale security operation is ongoing Austrian police are searching for at least one suspect after a multiple gun attack in the capital, Vienna, that killed four people. Seventeen other people were wounded - some seriously - after gunmen opened fire at six different locations in the city centre on Monday evening. One attacker was shot dead by police, officials said. Interior Minister Karl Nehammer described the assailant killed by police as an "Islamist terrorist". He later told the APA news agency that the 20-year-old gunman had been released early from jail last December, eight months after he was convicted of trying to travel to Syria to join the militant Islamic State group (IS). Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said on Wednesday it was clearly an attack driven by "hatred of our way of life, our democracy". Two of those who died in the shooting were women and two were men. One of the women was reportedly a waitress. The second woman died of her wounds in hospital overnight, reports said. The victims were in a city centre area busy with people in bars and restaurants, near Vienna's central synagogue, but it is not yet clear if that was the target. Crime scene investigators at work after multiple shootings in the first district of Vienna, Austria, 03 November 2020 IMAGE COPYRIGHTEPA image captionBars were targeted in a popular area of Vienna known as the "Bermuda Triangle" Mr Nehammer advised people to stay away from the centre, as police cordoned off some streets and brought in reinforcements. Parents were told to keep their children home on Tuesday if they could. Seven of the wounded have life-threatening injuries, Austrian media report. Addressing a news conference, Mr Nehammer described the heavily armed gunman killed by police as an Islamic State (IS) sympathiser. His home had been searched and video material seized, the minister said. He had been wearing a fake explosive belt, police tweeted. Several arrests were made during searches of 15 nearby homes. Two suspects were also arrested in St Pölten, a town to the west of Vienna. The Vienna shooting comes after a spate of Islamist attacks in France. Vienna crime scene - police, 3 Nov 20 IMAGE COPYRIGHTAFP image captionPolice flooded into several central streets where shooting took place What is known about dead gunman? He was 20, originally from North Macedonia and had a previous conviction for terrorist association, Mr Nehammer told Austria's APA news agency. He had both Austrian and North Macedonian citizenship. The minister later revealed the suspect had tried to travel to war-torn Syria to join IS. He had been released early from a 22-month jail term, under more lenient terms for young adults, according to the interior minister. Earlier, the minister said at least one "heavily armed and dangerous" attacker was believed to be still at large. Officials were quoted as saying there could have been as many as four attackers. Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz called it a "repulsive terror attack". The government called it "an attack on freedom and democracy". In pictures: Scene of gun attack in Vienna The attack came hours before Austria imposed new national restrictions to try to stem rising cases of coronavirus. Many people were enjoying drinks and eating out before a midnight curfew. Vienna map Police named six crime scenes in central Vienna: Seitenstettengasse and nearby Morzinplatz, Salzgries, Fleischmarkt, Bauernmarkt and Graben. The suspect was shot dead near St Rupert's Church. The government has announced three days of national mourning, starting immediately, with flags to fly at half-mast and a minute's silence at midday. Schools will also have a minute's silence for the victims on Wednesday morning. European leaders strongly condemned the shooting. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he was "deeply shocked by the terrible attacks". How did the attack unfold? Police say the incident began at about 20:00 (19:00 GMT), near the Seitenstettengasse synagogue, when a heavily armed man opened fire on people outside cafes and restaurants. Members of the special forces quickly arrived at the scene. One policeman was shot and critically wounded before the perpetrator, armed with an automatic rifle, a pistol and a machete, was, in the chief's words, "neutralised" at 20:09.

Footage posted on social media showed scenes of chaos as people ran through the streets with gunshots ringing out in the background. Witness Chris Zhao was in a nearby restaurant when the shooting started. He told the BBC: "We heard noises that sounded like firecrackers. We heard about 20 to 30 and we thought that to be actually gunfire. We saw the ambulances... lining up. There were victims. Sadly, we also saw a body lying down the street next to us."

Police in the neighbouring Czech Republic said they were carrying out random checks on the border with Austria in case the gunman fled in that direction. What reaction has there been? In a post on Twitter, the Austrian chancellor said "we are experiencing difficult hours in our republic". "Our police will act decisively against the perpetrators of this hideous terrorist attack. We will never allow ourselves to be intimidated by terrorism," he said. He was due to speak publicly after a cabinet video conference on Tuesday morning. Austria had until now been spared the sort of attacks that have hit other European countries. Leaders across the region were quick to condemn the shootings, with French President Emmanuel Macron saying that Europe must not "give up" in the face of attacks. "We, the French people, share the shock and grief of the Austrian people, struck this evening by an attack in the heart of their capital, Vienna. This is our Europe. Our enemies must know who they are dealing with," he said.

The UK prime minister also said the country's "thoughts are with the people of Austria - we stand united with you against terror" while Home Secretary Priti Patel said "we stand ready to support in any way we can". US President Donald Trump - on the campaign trail ahead of Tuesday's election - described it as "yet another vile act of terrorism in Europe". "These evil attacks against innocent people must stop. The US stands with Austria, France, and all of Europe in the fight against terrorists," he tweeted. His Democratic challenger Joe Biden condemned the "horrific terrorist attack", adding: "We must all stand united against hate and violence." European Council President Charles Michel called it a cowardly act that violated life and human values. Banner saying 'Get in touch' Do you have any information you can share?
