The shots in Hollabrunn at the entrance area of the mosque of the Association of Albanian Muslims, the local office of the Greens, and a parked car were fired with the same handgun.

"We assume so," said police spokesman Johann Baumschlager on Christmas Eve in response to an APA inquiry. "The investigations are in full swing even during Christmas," he added. They want to "tighten the net."

The mosque of the Association of Albanian Muslims was fired upon on the night of Sunday. No one was injured. A projectile was secured, as well as after a shot at a car parked about one and a half kilometers away on the same night. A forensic examination of the discovered ammunition was underway. On Monday, two shots at the local office of the Hollabrunn Greens were also reported. A time frame from Friday was mentioned here.

According to Baumschlager, the investigations led by the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Counterterrorism (LSE) also include the damage to display cases of the ÖVP and SPÖ in the Weinviertel district town. However, in these cases, shots are not assumed.

Increased Patrol Activity

According to the spokesman, any tips received are being checked. Baumschlager did not provide further details, citing tactical reasons for the investigation. In Hollabrunn, patrol activity has been increased by both uniformed and plainclothes officers.
