-Three people are thought to have been killed in a shooting rampage across six different places in Vienna
-Police are urging people to avoid public transport and the Vienna city centre as they deal with the incident
-There are reports of several attackers, with one accomplice said to have 'blown themselves up' amid rampage
-Interior Minister Karl Nehammer told Austrian broadcaster ORF: 'At the moment I can confirm we believe this is an apparent terror attack'



At least three people have been killed and 15 others injured in six gun attacks and a reported 'suicide bomb explosion' near a synagogue in Vienna on the city's final night before coronavirus lockdown.

A huge manhunt is currently underway for multiple attackers armed with rifles following the horrific shootings, with the first near the synagogue reported at 8pm local time.

One attacker is thought to have 'blown themselves up' during the rampage with another arrested and one shot dead by police. A police officer is also thought to have been shot and seriously injured. Vienna mayor Michael Ludwig said 15 people were admitted to hospital, seven with serious injuries.

The rampage comes on the last evening before Austria goes into lockdown, with bars and restaurants in the country closed from midnight tonight and people flocking to enjoy one last night of freedom.

Shocking footage showing a man carrying an assault rifle and sprinting through the streets of Vienna and firing off shots was shared on social media, shortly after reports of the attack. More distressing footage appears to show the moment a man is shot by an attacker.

Interior Minister Karl Nehammer told Austrian broadcaster ORF: 'It appears to have been a terror attack.'

He added that the perpetrators are on the loose and 'heavily armed and dangerous' and the army had been asked to guard key locations in the city to allow police officers to pursue the attackers

'We have brought several special forces units together that are now searching for the presumed terrorists. I am therefore not limiting it to an area of Vienna because these are mobile perpetrators,' Nehammer said, urging the public to stay indoors until the all-clear is given.

Chancellor Sebastian Kurz described the shootings as a 'hideous terrorist attack'. He tweeted: 'We are currently going through difficult times in our republic. I would like to thank all the emergency services who risk their lives, especially today for our safety.

'Our police will take decisive action against the perpetrators of this hideous terrorist attack. I am glad that our police officers have already been able to eliminate a perpetrator. We will never allow ourselves to be intimidated by terrorism and will fight these attacks resolutely by all means.'

'One of the perpetrators was neutralised, but several perpetrators appear to still be on the loose,' he said. 'They seem to also, as far as we know, be very well equipped, with automatic weapons. So they were very well prepared. It's definitely a terror attack.'

Czech police said they had started random checks on the country's border with Austria following Monday's attack.

'Police are carrying out random checks of vehicles and passengers on border crossings with Austria as a preventive measure in relation to the terror attack in Vienna,' the police tweeted.

Police urged people to avoid all open spaces and public transport in the city. They also said trams and buses were not stopping and urged social media users not to post videos of the police operation, so as not to endanger officers.

Photos and videos from the scene show police officers searching restaurants, cars and people as part of the manhunt.

Oskar Deutsch, the head of the Jewish community in Vienna, said the shooting took place in the street where the city's main synagogue is located but that it wasn't clear whether the house of worship had been targeted.

The synagogue was already closed at the time of the shooting, Deutsch tweeted. A neighbouring restaurant was also closed.

Rabbi Schlomo Hofmeister said he saw at least one person fire shots at people sitting outside bars in the street below his window.

'They were shooting at least 100 rounds just outside our building,' Hofmeister said.

'All these bars have tables outside. This evening is the last evening before the lockdown,' he added. 'As of midnight, all bars and restaurants will be closed in Austria for the next month and a lot of people probably wanted to use that evening to be able to go out.'

'It sounded like firecrackers, then we realised it was shots,' said one eyewitness quoted by public broadcaster ORF.

A shooter had 'shot wildly with an automatic weapon' before the police arrived and opened fire, the witness added.

Footage believed to be taken near the scene showed people ducking and weaving as they run for cover, with shots ringing out.

Reacting to the attack, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: 'I am deeply shocked by the terrible attacks in Vienna tonight. The UK's thoughts are with the people of Austria - we stand united with you against terror.

Home Secretary Priti Patel tweeted: 'Deeply shocked and saddened by the incident that has taken place in Vienna this evening. My thoughts are with everyone who has been affected and we stand ready to support in any way we can.'

French President Emmanuel Macron vowed Europe would not bow to terrorists following the shootings in Vienna on Monday in which at least two people including one attacker died and several more were injured.

'We French share the shock and sorrow of the Austrian people following the attack in Vienna,' Macron tweeted in both French and German.

'After France, it is a friendly nation that has been attacked. This is our Europe. Our enemies must know who they're dealing with. We will concede nothing.'

Germany's foreign ministry said Monday that 'we cannot give in to hate that is supposed to divide our societies' following shootings in Austrian capital Vienna that left two dead, including one attacker, and several injured.

'Even if we can't yet foresee the extent of the terror, our thoughts are with the wounded and the victims in these difficult hours,' the ministry wrote on Twitter, calling the news from neighbouring Austria.

Austrian public broadcaster ORF cited witnesses saying several shots were first fired shortly after 8pm local time.

Another Austrian newspaper reported that the attack was on the street that houses the city's main synagogue.

The attack comes just four days after a knife-wielding Tunisian man beheaded a woman and killed two other people in Nice, France before being shot by police.

Brahim Aoussaoui, 21, allegedly beheaded Nadine Devillers, 60, slit the throat of sexton Vincent Loques, 55, and stabbed mother-of-three Simone Barreto Silva, 44, to death in the horrifying attack.

On October 16, History teacher Samuel Paty was decapitated for showing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in a civics class discussion on free speech on October 16.

He became the subject of an online hate campaign over his choice of lesson material - the same images which unleashed a bloody assault by Islamist gunmen on the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo five years ago.

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said there was 'no room for hatred and violence in our common European home,' while his foreign minister Luigi Di Maio tweeted that 'Europe must react'.

The father of one of Paty's pupils, who started the social media campaign even though his daughter was not in class when the cartoons were shown, is among seven people charged over the attack.

He had exchanged messages with the killer, 18-year-old Chechnya-born Abdullakh Anzorov, via WhatsApp in the days leading up to the murder.

Ricard said that two teenagers - aged 14 and 15 - were also among the those being prosecuted for their part in a group who shared €300-350 (£270-£315) offered by the killer to help identify Paty.

The pair stayed with Anzorov for more than two hours waiting for the 47-year-old father of one even after the killer told them he wanted to 'humiliate and strike' Paty over the Muhammad caricatures, seen as offensive by many Muslims.

Anzorov decapitated Paty with a knife and tweeted an image of the teacher's severed head on Twitter before he was shot dead by police.
