Exactly seven years ago, on October 29, 2017 at 9:20 a.m., the then 66-year-old Felzmann fired several shots at his neighbors with a rifle after a years-long legal dispute over a right of way. He killed Heidi H. (55) and Gerhard E. (64), and another woman was seriously injured in the upper arm by the shots.
Week-long search
Felzmann then fled in a minibus, which he parked in a nearby forest. A day after the crime, the locked bus was found by the police. Felzmann had disappeared. Hundreds of emergency services and specialists from various police units from all over Austria intensively searched for the suspect in the days and weeks after the bloody crime. Heavily armed officers secured the community.
