Responsible for the attack was identified as a 21-year-old student of the institution, who took his own life after the act
On the morning of Tuesday (10), the city of Graz, Na, was the scene of a tragic gunfire at Dreierschützenga School, which resulted in 11 deaths, including that of the shooter himself, and left dozens of injuries. The head of the attack was identified as a 21-year-old former student of the institution, who took his own life after the act. Austrian authorities are investigating the case, but have not yet been able to determine the exact motivation of the crime. A farewell letter was found, but without clear explanations of the reason for the attack. The shooter has been speculation that he may have been bullied during his school years, but nothing has been officially confirmed so far.
The attack generated a wave of commotion across the country, which has about 9 million inhabitants and does not have a history of armed violence in schools. In response to the tragedy, the Austrian government decreed an official three -day mourning. In the central square of Gratos, citizens have gathered to pay tribute to the victims, lighting candles and expressing solidarity with mourning families. Although Austria is one of the countries with the largest number of firearms per inhabitant in Europe, incidents of armed violence in schools are extremely rare.
