On the night of 16 September 2013, Austrian police received a call about a suspected poacher in the woods near Annaberg, Lower Austria. Police officers attempted to inspect the vehicle of 55-year-old Alois Huber, but he sped off, later crashing his car in a ditch near Annaberg. While on the run, Huber killed several police officers and a Red Cross paramedic. He also kidnapped another officer while fleeing to his house in Melk. There, a standoff with the police occurred with about a hundred police and military officers present in armored vehicles. When the house was searched on 17 September, a fire was discovered burning in a secret basement, with the charred remains of a man suspected to be Huber.
