Austrian poacher found dead after killing four: police

(AFP) – 8 minutes ago

VIENNA — Austrian poacher Alois Huber, who killed three police and a paramedic, died after setting himself on fire while holed out at his home, police said early Wednesday.

Commandos from Austria's elite "Cobra" police force launched a raid to root out the 55-year-old gunman just before nightfall Tuesday in an operation which lasted five hours and ended with the discovery of his burnt body at his home 90 kilometres (55 miles) west of Vienna.
