FAST DOWNLOAD
Chaos in Austria’s Kirchberg ob der Donau as a man shot the mayor and a hunter there. A manhunt is currently underway for the 56-year-old perpetrator in the Upper Austrian district.
Monday morning, the 64-year-old mayor of the village, Franz Hofer, was shot dead in a meadow. Not much later, a second victim was found, also a hunter.
The perpetrator appears to be a 56-year-old man who also hunts and is consequently heavily armed. Residents in the area have been asked to stay indoors as much as possible and to lock all doors. Nothing is yet known about a possible motive. The mayor and the perpetrator knew each other. They reportedly had an ongoing conflict. The second victim was also an acquaintance.
