State Criminal Police Office forms special commission and creates 3-D model
At present, it is assumed that there is no longer any danger and that Emrah I. had no accomplices, according to LKA spokesman Alexander Groß. However, the environment of the suspected Islamist who was shot by police during the attempted attack still needs to be investigated in detail. This also includes the possible radicalization of the Bosnian-born Austrian on the Internet.
In order to give investigators, but later also judges and lawyers, an insight into the course of events, a special department of the State Criminal Police Office is currently creating a 3D reconstruction of the crime and the crime scene. Camera teams have already been on site for this purpose. This means that investigators can “go inside” the crime scene using VR glasses and may find details that have previously remained undiscovered. The State Criminal Police Office has already created similar reconstructions for Auschwitz and the OEZ attack in 2016.
Numerous departments of the LKA will be represented in the “Karolinenplatz” special commission. Groß could not yet name an exact number of investigators, but it will be a large task force. Eight years ago, the OEZ special commission consisted of up to 65 specialists from the LKA and police headquarters. The core of the investigative team will be the State Security Department of the LKA.
On Friday morning, Groß did not answer the question of how many shots police fired at the suspect. That is the task of the internal investigations department. The LKA’s internal investigators always step in when police officers use their service weapons in an operation to check the legality of the use. Emrah I. is said to have fired several shots at police officers; the police spoke of an “exchange of fire” between the 18-year-old and the officers.
