Austria is completely horrified on Monday night, when at least two perpetrators shed blood in central Vienna on Monday night, shooting indiscriminately on a street where there is a synagogue and outside many crowded bars at the time.
According to the police, so far there is one dead and many injured, and the Austrian Interior Minister speaks of a terrorist attack by several perpetrators. Police have confirmed that a civilian is dead, as well as one of the perpetrators, who was killed by police fire.
At the same time, the Austrian police spoke of six point attacks. According to official sources, the city authorities are looking for at least one perpetrator, at a time when the army has taken to the streets. According to the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the wanted aggressor (s) are heavily armed and dangerous.
On the other hand, the information from the Austrian Kurier states that at least seven people lost their lives, while 15 people were transferred to hospitals in Vienna, said Christoph Mierau, representative of the Vienna Health Association, when asked by the APA. At least seven of these people are serious.
In posts on Twitter, the police demanded that “rumors, accusations, speculation” not be made, nor that unconfirmed information about the victims be announced. “It doesn’t help at all,” he said.
At the same time, a lot of unconfirmed information is coming to light. The Austrian radio and television network OE24 reported that, in parallel to the attack, the perpetrators are holding hostages in a restaurant in another area of the city. However, a little later, the owner of the restaurant declared that there was no problem.
The Kronen Zeitung reported that a man was blown up after an armed attack on a synagogue in central Vienna.
However, the above information does not appear to be confirmed.
Other information talks about the arrest of a suspect, while Kurier even talks about 10 perpetrators …
In a post, the Vienna police confirm that:
- 20:00: many shots in the Seitenstettengasse
- several suspects armed with rifles
- shots in 6 different areas
- one dead, many injured (including a police officer)
- a perpetrator killed by police fire
CONFIRMED at the moment:
* 08:00 pm: several shots, starting at Seitenstettengasse
* several suspects armed with rifles
* six different filming locations
* one person deceived, several injured (1 officer included)

Shocking testimony of a Greek from Austria
Many Greeks living in the Austrian capital are also living moments of agony, as evidenced by the shocking testimonies of an expat, whose words reflect the utter shock.
As Vassilis Karagiannidis, a Vienna resident, tells GRTimes.gr, the incident happened very close to a Greek church.
Now he is in a safe place, however, his friends, as he says, are trapped in a restaurant, very close to the place where the shooting took place. Mr. Karagiannidis claims that his friends are on the top floor of the restaurant where they are “locked up”, while policemen with automatic weapons protect them.
“They are not allowed to go out because they are relatively close and have not found the perpetrators yet,” he said.
According to Mr. Karagiannidis, “some time ago, the country’s interior minister made statements on television stations, confirming that there are injuries and deaths and that there may be a hostage-taking case in progress.”
The orders are “stay where you are and don’t go out” and those who are very close to the place of the attack are placed on the 1st floor of the restaurant, while outside there are snipers and many policemen.
In addition, the Greek resident of Vienna points out that there is great unrest in the area.
Austrian media publish images of the perpetrator
At the same time, images of the alleged perpetrator have already flooded social media, and the German Bild published a photo that they claim shows the perpetrator at the time of the attack.
