Yppenplatz incident – shots fired in Vienna – victim not yet interviewed

Date:

The two seriously injured people (18 and 22 years old) have not yet been questioned on Sunday evening after the shooting on the Yppenplatz in Vienna-Ottakring. The group of perpetrators is still at large and the background to the altercation remains unclear. The victims are still in hospital and their condition is stable.

The lives of the young men were not in danger. It was around 6 p.m. A fight broke out between the two of them and another small group on Yppenplatz. The 18-year-old and the 22-year-old were probably shot with a pistol and hit “from the waist down.”

How many shots were fired cannot yet be said, said police spokeswoman Julia Schick. Grenade casings and other evidence have been secured, she stressed.

Drugs found in backpack
A backpack containing an unknown quantity of drugs was also found in the vicinity of the crime scene. Whether these were related to the crime was still unclear on Monday, Schick emphasizes. Initially, it was said that knives were probably involved in the fight. However, nothing was found and the victims had no stab or cut wounds, Schick could not confirm this.

Police are asking for more information
It was unlikely that bystanders were in danger; the shots were apparently fired at close range during the altercation. However, there were witnesses – they had called 911 – and police are asking the public to call 01-31310-338000 For further information, you can also submit it anonymously to the Vienna State Criminal Investigation Department; An immediate search for the perpetrators yielded nothing.

In any case, the victims should be interviewed if their health permits, said spokeswoman Schick.
