Three people are dead and at least one gunman is being hunted after a terror attack at six locations in Vienna.

Police in the Austrian capital said the attack was carried out by several suspects armed with rifles, and that one was shot dead by officers.

Gunmen opened fire on people enjoying a last evening out before a coronavirus lockdown Monday, authorities said.

Three people are confirmed dead - including the suspect killed by police - and 14 wounded.

The mayor of Vienna, Michael Ludwig, said the latest victim was a woman wounded in the attack who had subsequently died from her injuries.

Austria's Interior Minister Karl Nehammer said police had killed one attacker but at least one suspect was still on the loose in Vienna.
