The Austrian news agency APA reported that the 25-year-old turned himself in to police in the town east of Innsbruck and admitted to the five slayings early Sunday.
Police say the suspect went to his ex-girlfriend’s family home at 4 a.m. Sunday but left when her father opened the door. They say he retrieved his brother’s pistol from his own home and returned.
