Two young people shot by police in austria

yesterday, at the 5th of august, two young people who tried to open and rob things out of a supermarket in the city of krems in austria were shot by police. One died immediately, the other later. They were 14 and 16 years old and police is claiming "they are known" and "they probably hat guns".
they had a screwdriver and a gardener-tool with them to open the supermarket. the alarm was starting and police is not giving detailed information now. They will find their way to put the story as police is never violent, but only victim it sounds.

one article from mainstream media is here:

there had been a attack with color at the austrian consulat in basel, switzerland at the same day.


Police violence in austria is common like everywhere, but especially racist attacks like the murder of markus omofuma ten years ago are not sentenced or detailed researched.
