The attacker, identified as a Bosnian-born Austrian citizen, opened fire on the consulate building using a vintage rifle fitted with a bayonet. Police responded within seconds.
Five officers fired at the man. He died on the spot with his weapon lying beside him. No police officers were injured. No embassy staff were harmed. The only casualty was the attacker himself.
