Four people died in the Vienna attacks on Monday night, including one attacker. Two male civilians and one female were also killed. Fifteen people were seriously injured.

Austria’s interior minister, Karl Nehammer, described the attacker as an “Islamist terrorist” and said he believes there was more than one attacker and investigations were continuing.

Authorities were unable to confirm whether the attack was antisemitic, but said that the attack was definitely carried out by a “radicalised person”. Earlier in the press conference, Interior Minister Karl Nehammer said, “we have experienced an attack from an Islamist terrorist”.

Earlier, authorities said at least one gunman remained on the run at 1am Vienna time. He warned the assailants were “heavily armed and dangerous” and urged the public to stay indoors until the all-clear was given.

15 people were injured and taken to hospital after the attack that began
shortly after 8pm local time on Monday. One of the injured is thought to be a policeman. Seven of the injured were in a serious condition, Vienna’s mayor Michael Ludwig, said.
