Two people were killed after men armed with rifles opened fire at six different locations in the center of the Austrian capital Vienna on Monday night.
The police shot one of the attackers and arrested another. At least one attacker continues to flee. Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz described the incident as a “heinous terrorist attack.”
