The 21-year-old Austrian national, who had not graduated from the school, entered the BORG Dreierschützengasse around 10 a.m. local time, armed with a legally obtained pistol and shotgun.
He targeted two classrooms, including one he had previously attended, before taking his own life in a restroom. Police quickly secured the area and evacuated the school, moving survivors to a safe location.
Officials have not released the shooter’s name, citing privacy laws, but confirmed he acted alone. The victims included six females and three males, some of whom were minors, and at least one adult.
Authorities have not disclosed whether the deceased were students, staff, or visitors. The motive remains unclear, and investigators have not linked the attack to terrorism or organized crime.
Graz, a city of 300,000 residents, is known for its educational institutions and diverse population. About 25% of its inhabitants are foreign nationals, but officials confirmed the shooter was an Austrian citizen and did not indicate any connection to migration or religious extremism.
The incident marks the deadliest school shooting in Austria’s modern history and one of the worst mass shootings in Europe in recent years.
Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker declared three days of national mourning, emphasizing the profound impact on the nation’s sense of security.
The tragedy raises questions about school safety and firearm regulations, especially as Austria allows licensed ownership of pistols and shotguns. The country, with 30 civilian firearms per 100 people, now faces renewed debate on balancing gun rights and public safety.
