The surveillance cameras of the tobacco meal could lead to significant indications that enable arrest, but whether the perpetrator's weapon was real is currently unclear. The present, including the local Heurigenwirt Reinhard Lentz, are concerned about increasing crime in the area. Lentz, who did not observe the incident himself, was nearby and reported that the police were present with several cars at the scene to collect information. The district chairman of the ÖVP Liesing, Patrick Gasselich, also criticized the lack of security situation and called for urgent measures to improve, such as video surveillance in endangered places, such as Kurier.at reported.
