73-Year-Old Shot at Pensioner with Repeating Rifle

The reason for this was likely that the pensioner did not want to enter into a closer relationship with the suspect. He was arrested for attempted murder, reported the Burgenland State Police Directorate on Monday. An alcohol test was positive. No other people were present at the crime, it was reported to the APA.

Pensioner notified the state control center

The woman notified the state control center on Saturday around 11:00 a.m. She stated that the acquaintance had aimed and shot at her. Fortunately, he did not hit her. However, the man left the scene before the emergency services arrived. Shortly thereafter, they found him at his home address. He allowed himself to be arrested without resistance.

According to the police, he was then taken to the Eisenstadt prison. The investigations are still ongoing. The "Kronen Zeitung" was the first to report on this.
