A group armed with rifles attacked six different locations in Vienna leaving “several injured, several dead”, Austria’s interior minister said.

Gunmen opened fire on people enjoying a last evening out in the city before a coronavirus lockdown, in a terror attack that left at least two dead – including one of the attackers – and 15 wounded.
