Nehammer said the suspect was 20 years old. He is a dual citizen of Austria and
Noth Macedonia. He was already sentenced to 2years in prison last year because
he tried to join Islamic State by traveling to Syria. Then he was released
seven months later due to laws applying to young adults. Nehammer said that the
video material is seized at the suspect's house along with several additional
arrests.
So the people of Vienna
were told to stay home on Tuesday because other suspects may hide somewhere
around there. The incident began at about 8 PM Monday. Witness said the armed
robber fired randomly into bars and cafes which were crowded on the last night
before nationwide lockdown because of the coronavirus. The robber was killed
by police within minutes.
As the chancellor, Sebastian Kurz described the incident as a "despicable terrorist attack". The government declared 3 days of national mourning with flags to be flown over half-staff through Thursday. Thank you for reading.
