Austrian gunman shoots four dead
Three police officers and an emergency worker have been shot dead while trying to arrest a suspected poacher, the Austrian interior ministry has said.
Police armed with machine-guns are surrounding a farmhouse near the Alpine ski resort of Annaberg, where the suspect has barricaded himself in.
The man is heavily armed, reported state broadcaster ORF quoting police.
The suspect had been arrested during the night but escaped in a stolen police car, fleeing to his house.

Around 100 special forces officers are surrounding the property in the village of Melk, about 90km (55 miles) west of the capital Vienna, ORF reported.
Sporadic shots have been fired at officers, who have described the situation as "terrible and very explosive".
Police have so far failed to make contact with the gunman, ORF reported, adding that relatives of the suspect have been brought in to help.

It's looking like they've either killed him, or got him in custody.
BBC says that armed police are searching the farmhouse.

Four dead? Another blow against tyranny, and another victory for liberty loving patriots 
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

He was well known to the police. His hunting permit had been refused a long time before, but he just carried on poaching.
Basically, there was a loony there with lots of guns, and they let it go. Sounds familiar.
They entered the house after it had been silent for some time, They found a hidden room, which had been set on fire, and a charred body in there. It's presumably him, although they haven't confirmed it.

People often claim that drugs cause mental health problems, when it's more likely that the person's mental health problems led to a misuse of drugs.
Similarly with guns. People with mental health problems often find them attractive.

Was "arrested for poaching", then somehow escaped in the police car to a rustic stone farmhouse loaded with guns high in the spectacular Austrian Alps? Who does he think he is? Jason Bourne?
