Dramatic scenes in the Korneuburg district (Lower Austria): A 71-year-old homeowner shot at a burglar on Wednesday night. This was preceded by a home invasion in which several perpetrators were involved.
Dramatic scenes caused fear and terror in the Korneuburg district on Tuesday night: around one in the morning, three unknown people broke into a house in Würnitz in the Harmannsdorf community. The residents, a married couple, were asleep at the time. The dog raised the alarm, causing the woman to perk up and investigate. She caught the trio in the act, whereupon the 50-year-old was immediately attacked with an iron rod and injured. Awakened by the noise, her husband rushed to her aid. He was also immediately attacked by the criminals. The 71-year-old then fired several shots at the intruders from his legally owned weapon. One of the three perpetrators was hit and collapsed in the garden. The couple suffered injuries. The other two were able to escape, but without any loot. The injured man was treated at the state hospital and arrested. The crime scene and robbery group of the Lower Austrian State Criminal Police Office has taken over the investigation and the traces are currently being secured. The 50-year-old was treated as an outpatient in the hospital; both victims suffered severe shock as a result of the dramatic home invasion.
