At least one person has been killed and several injured in Vienna in what security officials described as a “terror attack”. “One deceased person, several injured (1 officer included),” police said on Twitter. “1 suspect shot and killed by police officers.” The Austria Press Agency earlier quoted ambulance service spokesman Daniel Melcher saying there were several dead and injured in the Austrian capital, though he was unable to provide a number. Austria’s top security official said authorities believe there were several attackers involved and the incident was ongoing. “It appears to have been a terror attack,” interior minister Karl Nehammer told public broadcaster ORF, adding that the perpetrators were armed with rifles. “I can confirm that there were several injured and that there are probably also deaths among them,” Mr Nehammer said.
