Terror Attack Reported Near Vienna Shul [Video]

The Austrian Ministry of the Interior says a coordinated multi-terrorist attack has occurred near a shul and Jewish community center in Vienna.

The shul/community center may have been a target of the attack but was reportedly closed and had armed security, forcing the gunmen to turn their fire on a nearby restaurant.

The attack appears to have been coordinated between at least three terrorists attacking multiple locations simultaneously.

According to a government spokesman, at least 2 people are dead, with an additional seven victims in critical condition a total. 1 terrorist was reportedly been shot dead and another has been arrested, with security forces searching for others.

A leader of the Jewish community in Vienna says that no Jews have been injured. Jews in Vienna have been advised to remain indoors until the situation is resolved.

Austrian Chancellor Kurz says that multiple attackers are still on the loose, but did not specify how many.
