Vienna shooting: Gunmen hunted after deadly 'terror' attack

A large area has been cordoned off as police search for the other gunmen. The shootings took place near the central synagogue but it is not yet clear if that was the target.

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz called it a "repulsive terror attack" and said one gunman was also killed. We talk to Chris Zhao, who is a student in Vienna and was in a nearby restaurant when he heard gunshots and was escorted by staff and other diners up to a hotel. Meanwhile, in the US, voters head to the polls. Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, is firmly ahead, according to most sources - so much so, that some even predict he could win unusual states such as Texas and Georgia. And, protests continue throughout the Muslim world at French President Emmanuel Macron鈥檚 stance on the right to publish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. We talk to Jessica Khine, finance professional in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Andy Uhler, reporter for Marketplace, in Austin Texas. (Photo credit: Reuters)
