Graz School Shooting: 10 Dead, 11 Injured in Austria
Graz School Shooting: Ten Dead, Eleven Injured in Austria A tragic school shooting in Graz, Austria, on Tuesday resulted in ten deaths and eleven injuries. A 21-year-old gunman opened fire at the school, using two weapons before taking his own life. The motive remains under investigation, but authorities discovered a suicide note and video from the shooter. The city is in mourning, and Austria has declared three days of national mourning. "It was simply terrible to learn that people here had died," said one tearful student interviewed at a candlelight vigil near the school. Another student, whose friend was lightly injured, added, "My friend escaped with minor injuries, but she is deeply shocked." The brother of a victim described the initial moments of fear and uncertainty before learning his brother was safe, but sadly, a colleague of his brother was killed in the attack. The police received a call from the shooter's mother shortly after she saw the video, but the call came too late to prevent the tragedy. The injured are receiving intensive care in a hospital, and their condition is reported as largely stable. A massive outpouring of grief is evident, with a sea of flowers and candles placed outside the school as the entire city grieves.
