Austrian neo-Nazi massacres festival-goers
Source: Romea
At the beginning of the week the Czech media briefly reported on an incident in the small town of Nenzing, Austria, where on Sunday morning a 27-year-old man, after a seemingly banal argument with his girlfriend, shot randomly into a crowd of people. Two men died on the spot and more than 10 people were injured.
After firing at least 30 rounds, the shooter turned the weapon on himself. The shooting occurred during a traditional event held by a local motorcycle club, "The Lords", connected with an outdoor concert. At around 3 AM Sunday morning there were roughly 150 people still at the event. Panic broke out at the scene after the shooting.
Austrian news server Vorarlberg Online wrote that many festival-goers fled the event and took cover in the forest, with some running as far as the nearby highway. The girlfriend of the assailant, who was not harmed, called the police and after they arrived gave extensive testimony and identified the dead perpetrator, who is the father of her young son.
After the shooting, police searched the shooter's home and found a locked tin chest containing grenades, military-grade munitions, and neo-Nazi publications. The weapon he used is a "Zastava M92", which is simply a modified Kalashnikov and is banned in Austria, as it is an assault weapon.

Blood & Honour, the most radical militant neo-Nazi organization, was established in the 1980s in Great Britain by Ian Stuart Donaldson, the leader of the neo-Nazi skinhead music group Skrewdriver. It was originally established as an effective, extensive distribution network for neo-Nazi and racist materials among youth (carrying on the work of the German youth organization Hitlerjugend), especially music.
In many of its materials, the group has called for violence. The name of the organization is sometimes coded as the number 28.
The group has branches in dozens of countries around the world. Experts have linked it, for example, to the murderous attacks on Romani dwellings in Hungary from 2009-2010, the series of murders by the National-Socialist Underground in Germany (2000-2008), as well as to the arson attack in Vítkov, Czech Republic in 2009.
