A huge manhunt was underway Tuesday after gunmen opened fire at multiple locations across central Vienna, killing at least four people and wounding several more in what Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz described as a "repulsive terror attack." One of the suspected killers, identified as an Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) sympathizer, was shot dead by police.
Authorities said they were searching for at least one more assailant.
Police said the dead suspect had an assault rifle and was wearing a fake suicide vest.
The attacks, in six locations, began shortly after 8 p.m. Monday near Vienna's main synagogue in the center of the city. They were carried out by "several suspects armed with rifles," police said Monday night.
