Five minutes after the first shot

The Viennese photographer Thomas Busek was lucky on Monday. He just managed to reverse his car out of an alley where the attacker was already shooting. He then took this photo and writes: "Here a police officer is putting on a protective vest for his colleague. According to my records, the first shots were fired at exactly 7:59:20 PM. Less than 5 minutes later, this first patrol was already there. Another 5 minutes later, at 8:09 PM, the first assailant was already neutralized. Thanks to each and every police officer, because while we were all running for our lives, they were running in the opposite direction to protect our lives." HERE you can find Thomas Busek on Facebook.
