If is one Attack on the church acted is currently unclear. The president of the religious community rules out victims in the Jewish community, the synagogue was already closed at the time of the shooting.
At the moment it cannot be said whether the city temple was one of the targets. However, what is certain is that both the Seitenstettengasse synagogue and the office building at the same address were no longer in operation and were closed at the time of the first shots. 1 /

“It sounded like an explosion,” said a witness who wished to remain anonymous, in a special edition of the ORF program “Zeit im Bild”. “Then you realized that it was shooting. Then you saw a person running down the Seitenstetten, (fired) savagely with an automatic weapon. Then he turned around, in the ‘Roter Engel’ (local) from there in the direction of Schwedenplatz. He kept shooting savagely there. Then the police came and shot. “
On oe24-TV, witnesses reported “at least 50 shots.” There were photographs of at least one injured person bleeding on the floor in front of a bar and being treated.
