| - World leaders voiced their condemnation Tuesday over the multiple shootings in Vienna that killed four people. Here are some of the main reactions to Monday's rampage, described by Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz as a "repulsive terror attack". "These evil attacks against innocent people must stop. The US stands with Austria, France, and all of Europe in the fight against terrorists, including radical Islamic terrorists" -- President Donald Trump. "Europe strongly condemns this cowardly act that violates life and our human values. My thoughts are with the victims and the people of #Vienna in the wake of tonight's horrific attack. We stand with Austria" -- European Council chief Charles Michel. The EU's top diplomat Josep Borrell called it "a cowardly act of violence and hate". "The fight against these assassins and those who instigate them is our common struggle" -- Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman. The foreign ministry tweeted that Germany would not "give in to hate that is supposed to divide our societies", calling the attack "horrifying and disturbing". German police said they had stepped up checks on the border with Austria. "We French share the shock and sorrow of the Austrian people following the attack in Vienna" -- President Emmanuel Macron. "After France, it is a friendly nation that has been attacked. This is our Europe. Our enemies must know who they're dealing with. We will concede nothing," he tweeted in both French and German. Russian President Vladimir Putin "strongly condemned the cruel and cynical crime which once again confirmed the inhumane nature of terrorism", the Kremlin said. In a telegram to Austrian leaders he "expressed confidence that forces of terror will not be able to threaten anyone or sow discord and enmity among people of different religions". "#Pakistan strongly condemns the heinous terrorist attack in Central #Vienna on Monday night" -- foreign ministry spokesman. "We extend our deepest condolences & sympathies to families of victims and wish a speedy recovery to those injured." Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted that he was "deeply shocked and saddened by the dastardly terror attacks in Vienna". "Terrorism is reprehensible in all its forms, and the regrettable act perpetrated in Vienna demonstrates once again that terrorism and extremism know no borders" -- foreign ministry spokesman. "Substituting reason and intelligence for hatred and provocation creates a vicious circle that fosters an atmosphere that fuels the spread of extremist and violent tendencies." "As a country that has been fighting against all sorts of terrorism for decades Turkey stands in solidarity with the Austrian people" -- foreign ministry statement. Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted that he was "deeply shocked" and that the "UK's thoughts are with the people of Austria -- we stand united with you against terror". Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said there was "no room for hatred and violence in our common European home", while Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio tweeted that "Europe must react". Prime Minister Andrej Babis said he was "horrified" and wanted to "express my solidarity to all people in Austria and my friend Sebastian Kurz". Czech police said they had started random checks on the border with Austria and had also stepped up supervision of major Jewish facilities. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted his condolences on Twitter, calling the attack "horrific and heartbreaking". "We condemn in the strongest terms possible this act of terrorism," he said. "Our thoughts are with the people of Austria and everyone affected by this deplorable act." Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis tweeted that he was "shocked by the horrific attacks" and offered Kurz "full solidarity". Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte called it a "terrible attack near a synagogue in Vienna". "Our thoughts are with the victims and their families, and with the Austrian government in dealing with this heinous act."
