New details about the search for the shooter Roland Drexler: According to the first information, the 56-year-old was seen in Burgenland. The police are now investigating information about the murder suspect, especially in the Oberpullendorf district.
There is currently a large police presence in the Oberpullendorf district. The murder suspect, 56-year-old Roland Drexler, could likely be there. The Upper Austrian, who allegedly executed two men in cold blood on Monday, including the mayor of Kirchberg ob der Donau, has been in full swing since then.
Drexler could be carrying weapons
The shooter, who is considered ‘very dangerous’, has not yet been caught. According to a report from ORF Burgenland, emergency services are currently specifically looking for the man in Burgenland. Police believe Drexler may have two long guns and a handgun. He is also believed to be driving a silver VW Caddy with license plate RO-231EL.
50 people under personal protection
The police advise you not to contact the person you are looking for and to call an emergency number immediately. 50 people close to the man are now receiving personal protection. They were taken to safe places because they feared trouble with the suspect. According to investigators in Upper Austria, numerous tips are still coming in, which are being processed by the operations team in Linz.
The two fatalities are Franz Hofer (64), mayor of the municipality of Kirchberg ob der Donau, and retired police officer (64) Josef Hartl. Both men were hunting for Drexler’s associates.
It appears that the killings may have been committed in revenge or in retaliation for the complaints and disputes surrounding hunting. However, the exact circumstances and full motive are still subject to ongoing investigation.
