BUDAPEST, April 6 (Reuters) – Anti-terrorism police were
dispatched to a village in Hungary on Friday after a man killed
four members of the same family and wounded at least three
others, national news agency MTI reported citing an ambulance
spokesman.
MTI said the squad had arrived at the village of Kulcs,
about 60 kilometres (37 miles) south of Budapest, and that the
attacker, who has not been identified, may be holding hostages.
A police spokeswoman from Fejer county, where the village is
located, told Reuters that police were investigating a homicide.
“We are after the perpetrator of a very serious, multiple
homicide. We know who the perpetrator is and will publish his
photo soon on our website,” the spokeswoman, Agnes Szabo, said.
TV station HirTV said the killings took place in a family
home where seven people lived, but said the motive of the attack
and the circumstances were unclear.
A spokesman for the anti-terrorism police declined to
comment on the incident. A spokesman for the ambulance service
was not immediately reachable.
