A young man has lost his life in a senseless act of violence and the hockey world is reeling at the news .

According to a report from Yahoo News' Tom Flanagan, 24 year old goaltender Florian Janny is among the victims of a horrific massacre that took place over the weekend at an Austrian ski resort. The incident took place in the Alpine town of Kitzbuehel Austria and now appears to have been a premeditated act of rage and jealousy by a vengeful ex-boyfriend, one that has left two entirely innocent families devastated.

The suspect in the case, identified only as "Andreas" by local police, reportedly had a chance encounter with Janny on Saturday night while Janny was accompanied by his girlfriend who has been identified as "Nadine H" by local authorities. Andreas and Nadine had previously been in a relationship but had separated 2 months prior to this encounter, but in spite of that some type of argument ensued between Florian, Nadine, and Andreas. It should have ended there but Andreas reportedly showed up at Nadine's family home at 4:00 am on Sunday only to be scared off when her father, "Rupert H", opened the door.

It did not end there however and authorities are now reporting that Andreas left the premises only to retrieve a pistol that belonged to his brother before eventually returning once again. This time when Rupert opened the door Andreas shot and killed him before entering the home and also killing Nadine's mother, "Andrea H," and her 25 year old brother "Kevin H," in his attempts to find his former girlfriend. Nadine and Janny were reportedly in a Granny Flat that was attached to the home after after butchering her family Andreas climbed a balcony to the room where the couple was located, and proceeded to shoot them both while they slept. 

What makes this senseless act of violence all the more chilling is that police officers report that Andreas calmly walked into the local police station after committing his crimes and placed his weapons on a counter before confessing to what he had just done.

“I have just killed five people,” said Andreas to the officers as he placed a gun and knife on the counter as per Yahoo News.

Florian had just played his very first game with the EHC Black Wings and had put on a stunning performance, recording a 1.54 goals against average and a .947 save percentage. Unfortunately through no fault of his own he will no longer get to pursue his dreams as a hockey player, and no doubt his entire family is left in total shock at what has just transpired. 

Our thoughts go out to all the victims of this senseless crime, their loved ones, and anyone else this horrible crime may have impacted.
