Several videos of the Monday night terrorist attack near a synagogue in the centre of the Austrian capital city of Vienna have been posted on social media.
The videos show different shooting incidents taking place in the streets near Vienna’s main synagogue. Some of the footage shows attackers firing off several shots as they walk around the area.

Some videos show the shooters randomly gunning down people in the street.
