These shots had the opposite effect, so to speak. Four boys (18 and 19 years old) met the day before Christmas in a forest near Mattighofen (Upper Austria) to shoot around. Until concerned residents called the police. They found the perpetrators quite quickly; they had two pistols with them.
On Monday around 6 p.m., the Mattighofen police station received information from a telephone report that several shots had been heard in a forest in Pischelsdorf. A vehicle then pulled out of the woods and drove away.
Boys have betrayed themselves
However, during the search for the driver, shots were heard again. The officers went to the affected area of the forest where the shots were heard. Four people were found there, two 18-year-olds and two 19-year-olds from Pischelsdorf and Burgkirchen, who immediately confessed to having fired the shots.
350 ammo
During the search, two blank pistols, five packs of blank ammunition containing 350 bullets and three packs of pyrotechnic fireworks were seized. A temporary weapons ban was issued against those involved and they will be reported to the Braunau district administration.
