After a man was injured by gunfire in the Viennese district of Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus on Wednesday afternoon, police have now released further details. The victim is a 33 year old. He had the murder weapon himself.
As police reported on Thursday, the 33-year-old and two acquaintances aged 18 and 19 met three other men in Hackengasse. The meeting would be about the sale or purchase of drugs.
As a result, a dispute is said to have broken out between the two groups. It is believed the 33-year-old pulled out the firearm he illegally owned and carried.
What exactly happened next is still unclear. Anyway, shots were fired and the 33-year-old collapsed, bleeding. He was hit in the neck and upper body.
Three suspects are still on the run
The three unknown suspects then attacked the group with punches and then fled. A search has so far been unsuccessful.
The 19-year-old suffered facial injuries as a result of the attack. He threw the firearm in a garbage can near the crime scene. The weapon has now been seized.
A small amount of narcotics was seized from the 18-year-old. The victim has not yet been interviewed. Further investigations are underway.
