Multiple "terrorists", some still at large.
Seven dead so far.

Look like well trained individuals with rifles working as a team. Not good.

I'm assuming it is the usual suspects?

Really bad day for Vienna in what looks like a terrorist incident involving many attackers.

Unfortunate video on twitter appears to show some guy dressed in all white shooting a guy in the street with a rifle, then returning and shooting the same guy with a pistol. Would rather I hadn't seen it TBH. I'd like their names and motives to be thrown into the memory hole, but our media will continue their typical sepsis response and do their work for them.

Reports of a suicide bombing too

https://www.krone.at/2266750

"Terrorist attack near Schwedenplatz on Monday evening in Vienna: According to information from the "Krone", a police officer died of his injuries, and a perpetrator is said to have blown himself up. There are said to be other perpetrators on the run. The police asked the population to avoid large areas of the area. The Viennese professional rescue confirmed that there were several fatalities and numerous injuries in the attack. Suspects used long guns and allegedly also knives. At least one man was arrested. There should also have been shots in the subway. A suspect and a civilian were also killed in the terrorist attack."

Now seeing others claiming those 4 were unrelated. As with any attack of this nature there's all sorts of speculating flying around, but clearly very well organised and not one or two nutters.

A friend who lives there has just sent me a video of a Man being shot that they're actually showing on TV there.

Someone in military kit & a balaclava carrying an AK-47 shoots him once then moves away. The victim is clearly alive and moving on the ground. Seconds later the gunman returns and shoots him again with what looks like a hand gun.

  • Edit. Slight correction, it's a phone video of a large screen PC Monitor so probably from Social Media

Islamic State terrorists gunned down 22 at a Kabul University today - I wonder if the attacks are linked?

Presumably but for some reason the media suppress the truth and then we carry on in denial pretending there isn't a problem.
Until the next time.
