In Graz, Austria, a gunman opened fire in a secondary school, resulting in the deaths of nine individuals and injuries to 12 more. The shooter, a 21-year-old former student, committed suicide shortly after the attack. Police and emergency responders quickly evacuated the school, and 300 officers were present at the scene. Austrian leaders expressed profound sorrow, with a call for national mourning given the rarity of such incidents in the country, where gun ownership is heavily regulated yet persists due to a high civilian firearm ratio.
"There are no words to describe the pain, the disbelief and the grief that all of Austria feels right now," said Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker.
"Our country has fallen silent in horror," Stocker stated, emphasizing the nationwide impact following the tragic school shooting in Graz.
