Austrian Police Hunt for Terror Accomplices

Jamie Dettmer

   There were just a few hours to go before a coronavirus curfew was due
   to go into effect in Austria.
   And that was when the gunmen chose to strike in Vienna, unleashing a
   deadly rampage Monday that left four dead and at least 15 wounded in
   multiple locations in the city in what Austrian Chancellor Sebastian
   Kurz labeled a "repulsive terror attack."
   Officials in the Austrian capital say they're still unsure how many
   assailants were involved in an attack apparently planned to take
   advantage of people thronging bars and restaurants to enjoy a final
   night out before the lockdown.
   Witnesses said they thought several men fired into bars and restaurants
   around Schwedenplatz on the Danube canal. One video posted online by a
   witness showed a gunman wearing a white tracksuit shooting at a man
   several times with an automatic weapon, before returning seconds later
   to shoot him with a handgun.
