Reached for a weapon in self-defense
Two hours later, the police were alerted again, this time to the apartment of the 27-year-old, who was known to the authorities, in Linz-Kleinmünchen. Around 12:45 a.m., several police patrols were dispatched to Alleitenweg 45 due to a commotion and loud screams. Due to the persistent screams, the officers immediately entered the apartment in question and found three people there—as it later turned out—the 27-year-old, the young female tenant, and another man.
