Breaking: Attack on a Vienna synagogue (& possibly other locations) with a large-scale police operation in response. Videos circulating online are indicating heavy sustained fire. Situation is ongoing.
2)Shocking video shows a gunman armed with what appears to be a Kalashnikov (AK-47) rifle firing at an unknown target.
3)Another video appears to show a police officer being gunned down in the street.
4)Given the varying visuals of the videos, it appears that initial reports of shootings happening at multiple locations, including two restaurants, could be accurate. This is further evidenced by a video outside a cafe, where there is a body and significant volume of blood.
5)It is unclear what the motivation of the attack is thus far, and whether or not a far-right or jihadist group is involved. Both far-right and #ISIS communities are spreading news of the events.
6) Appears one of the shooters was downed. This was the shooter seen in the video attached to my prior tweet. There are reports of multiple shooters, but this has yet to be confirmed. 
7)Reports are now emerging of separate shots fired at a Hilton, and hostages taken at a nearby restaurant. This is looking more and more like a jihadist terrorist attack coordinated with multiple actors.
