After an 84-year-old was found with serious head injuries in front of a residential complex in Amstetten, a major alarm was raised. Also because passers-by had heard a loud bang earlier. However, an originally suspected gunshot wound has now been ruled out. However, the background remains unclear.
What happened to the 84-year-old who was found in a pool of blood by passers-by in Amstetten on Tuesday morning? This is the question that is currently occupying the investigators of the State Criminal Investigation Department. According to an expert, it is clear: an initially suspected gunshot wound can be ruled out. The injury was caused by blunt trauma. “This could be the result of an accident or a crime,” but according to the police, a violent crime cannot be ruled out at this time.

Because witnesses heard a dull bang shortly before the injured man was found, Amstetten was on high alert for a short time. The Cobra was on site, as was the rapid intervention group, and drones were also deployed. The area was temporarily cordoned off over a large area. The search for a possibly armed person was called off around noon.
Witness interviews are currently taking place and the crime scene unit is investigating the location where the injured man was found. The 84-year-old himself, who was taken to hospital, cannot yet be interviewed. “He continues to receive medical treatment,” state police headquarters said.
