Deadly attack in Salzburg
A week ago on Wednesday, a 40-year-old local woman was killed by a herd of cows in the Schlossalm area (municipality of Bad Hofgastein). The woman was walking with her two daughters (20 and 23 years old) and two small dogs on the afternoon of her birthday when they were attacked by the animals.
