A tragic mass shooting occurred at a school in Graz, Austria, resulting in the deaths of at least 10 individuals, primarily students. The shooter, a 21-year-old former pupil, was found dead in a bathroom, and authorities believe he acted alone. This incident has prompted a three-day national mourning period as Chancellor Christian Stocker described it as a dark day for the nation. The attack came just before the 10th anniversary of a previous school tragedy in 2015, heightening the shock across the usually peaceful country.
The rampage at a school in Graz is a national tragedy that has deeply shaken our entire country. This is a dark day in the history of our country.
More than 300 police were called to the scene after shots were heard around 10 am at the school where pupils of 15 and above attend.
Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker expressed that there are no words for the pain and grief that we all - all of Austria - are feeling right now.
The killings caused shock and consternation in Austria, a usually peaceful country unaccustomed to multiple fatalities of the kind that occurred in Graz.
