Excitement in the center of Ried on Saturday evening: shots were apparently heard in front of the Weberzeile shopping center. According to initial information, nothing should have happened. A police officer said in an interview with OÖN that the weapon was a blank pistol. “We were able to stop the young men who drove away in the car at a gas station,” says the officer. The men should be “officially known” and the questioning at the police station should be ongoing.
However, the police operation is not over yet. Around 9.30 p.m. there was an increased police presence in the area where the shots were fired. Numerous officers are still patrolling this area, and the roundabout near Weberzeile is likely to have been closed. Around 20-25 police officers are likely to plan access to a house opposite Weberzeile.
