“I am deeply shocked" The mayor of a northern Austrian town has been shot dead - Herbert Sieghartsleitner

 



The mayor of a northern Austrian town has been shot dead and the suspect is on the run, local police said.


A major manhunt is underway in northern Austria after a hunter allegedly fatally shot two people and fled the scene, local police said Monday..


Franz Hofer, mayor of Kirchberg ob der Donau, was killed in the village of Altenfelden in Austria’s rural Muhlviertel region, near the border with Germany and the Czech Republic.


A second man was also shot dead a short while later, Upper Austria police spokesperson Ulrike Handelbauer told CNN.


A large-scale police operation with helicopters and special forces is underway, she said. The suspect is believed to be armed and local residents have been told to stay indoors.


“Unfortunately, we assume that the perpetrator we are looking for could be carrying the weapon,” Handelbauer said, according to local media. A dispute over hunting rights appeared to have sparked the incident, police added.


According to Kronen Zeitung, a local outlet, the suspect was known to hunters in the area. “He was a difficult person,” said a hunter from the area who wished not to be named.


The shooting shocked officials at the People’s Party (OVP) regional headquarters in Linz. “It’s madness,” said state party leader Florian Hiegelsperger.


Herbert Sieghartsleitner, the state hunting master, said the incident was “unbelievable.”


“I am deeply shocked by what has happened. I knew Franz Hofer very well personally,” he said, according to Kronen Zeitung.
