Considering that there were as many as six locations, the police are conducting a large-scale search and strengthening surveillance of public areas. The killed suspect was armed with a submachine gun, wearing a forged bomb vest, and was a supporter of the terrorist extremist organization “Islamic State”. The police have investigated the suspect’s residence and surrounding houses and arrested several people. Nehammer asked all Vienna residents not to leave their residences for non-work needs or other important reasons. He himself also tries to avoid going to Vienna District 1.
