SW News: Gunmen opened fire in Vienna, the Austrian capital, killing at least two people on Monday. Many people, including a police officer, were severely injured.

“The assault was carried out by at least one suspect who was shot and killed by officers. The suspect was armed with an assault rifle, among other handguns,” the Vienna police department tweeted.

Cardinal Schönborn, the archbishop of Vienna, offered his prayers for the victims.

“In these dramatic hours I pray with many others who follow the tragic events in the heart of our city through the media, for the victims, the emergency services and that there will be no further bloodshed,” the archbishop tweeted.

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said that the authorities would “take decisive action against the perpetrators of this hideous terrorist attack.”

Several world leaders have condemned the attack.
