So what's the motivation behind this attack? Just to show they can wreak some havoc in one of Europe's main capital cities?

Video of a poor guy smoking a cigarette with nowhere to go, just mowed down with an assault rifle, then casually finished off a couple of minutes later with a pistol.

fecking hell. these attacks are becoming a weekly event.
It was always going to be this way. This is life from now on.

Austria has pretty much zero involvement in the War on Terror so there goes the argument that this is all because of intervention in the Middle East.

They showed solidarity with France and Macron

It was always going to happen. It is either shut up and let the lunatics take over slowly, like we did so far more or less or fight them. Sooner or later this will end up ugly.

With the attack in Kabul University earlier today too, wonder if its coordination to get the IS name/brand spread out again for propaganda reasons.

When is this going to stop?
Surely in a thousand years the people of planet earth will look back at these events with complete bewilderment.

Yeah I thought about mentioning the 20 students gunned down in Kabul today, but the terror attacks in the middle east and Africa barely register as news here and thought I'd be labelled an islamophobe for mentioning them. I don't know if it's coordinated, but ISIS is for sure trying to stir up a global war between muslims and non-muslims.

As you said, how casual it is is sickening. Doesn't even stop his light jog as he shoots him multiple times. Inhuman.

Just saw that looked like a shotgun he shot him with. Disgusting. Poor man.

Shootings have taken place at six different locations police say.

This is terrible. I was there just a month ago and stayed right across the river from Schwedenplatz.

Seems to be very little information getting out about what’s happened/happening so far.

The 6 locations are very close to other (couple of hundred meters) and appear to all be the same shooter(s) on foot walking through the center. Wien is a very compact city.

It's easy to stop. Just nobody wants to make that call
Not sure if it is easy, especially with how prevalent they are nowadays. I reckon 99 percent of the world condemn these attacks so why doesn't such an overwhelming majority stomp out such sickening atrocities?



Nothing lasts forever though so I'm absolutely confident that eventually these sorts of attacks will be a depressing remnant of a brief period in human history.

Horrible news. I hope they catch all the terrorists and let them rot in a jail cell for the rest of their lives. My toughts goes to the good people of Austria.
