After a witness heard several gunshot noises on Wednesday afternoon in Vienna-Donaustadt and observed a young man with a supposed firearm on the balcony of a multi-party house, he alerted the police. In the apartment belonging to the balcony, officers from the Lange Allee police station encountered an 18-year-old and his 43-year-old mother (both citizens of Germany), who both denied possessing or using a firearm.

However, on and under the balcony, the officers were able to find and secure casings of alleged blank cartridges. When the 18-year-old suddenly pushed one of the officers several times with both hands against the chest and was subsequently temporarily arrested, his mother also attacked the officers. The 43-year-old was also temporarily arrested. A search of the apartment for the alleged blank firearm was negative. Mother and son were reported at large on suspicion of attempted resistance against state authority by order of the Vienna public prosecutor's office. A temporary weapons ban was issued against the 18-year-old.
