The Schärdinger Silberzeile is generally known as a tourist magnet. On the other hand, on Tuesday evening, visitors jumped there because suddenly two shots echoed through the night. A 19-year-old cycled from the crime scene and was arrested a little later. Because of alcohol, he could not remember the shots.
That was probably the last thing the eyewitnesses would have expected. Late on Tuesday evening at 10:40 am, passers-by had observed a 19-year-old on Schärding’s Town Square when he violently removed the castle on an e-bike. Because the witnesses suspected that he wanted to steal it, they called the police.
Two shots in the air
But then scenes like from the film: suddenly the young man brought out a gun and shot twice in the air before cycling through the Linz gate and then on the electric bicycle.
Borrowed
In the course of a search, the suspect was stopped and arrested in the Bubs district around 11:20 pm. In the municipal area of Sankt Florian. He had a shotgun with him and pushed the e-bike. In the course of the further investigation, it turned out that the so-called stolen e-bike was from his grandfather and that he had borrowed it.
No memory
With regard to the shots on Stadsplein, the 19-year-old could not provide information because of his strong alcoholisation (1.78 per thousand). At 00:45 the arrest was lifted and the man was transferred to the care of his parents. An advertisement is demonstrated by the BH Schärding and a temporary ban on weapons has been published against the Schederschützen. Further research is being carried out with regard to the legitimate actions.
