Following the most horrific massacre in contemporary Austrian history, which claimed the lives of 11 people, including the shooter, Graz is in shock, grief, and despair. This could never have occurred here, in our location, as we never could have predicted. “The city as a whole is having a sad day,” Reka, who lives near the school, said.
Austria has long been immune to the tragedy of mass shootings at schools. However, all changed Tuesday at around 10:00 when a former pupil went ape-shit at a secondary school in the Dreierschützengasse, near the central station in the second-biggest city in Austria. Classes had started in the morning when the attack occurred, which was also the time of some schoolchildren’s final examinations.
By the end of it, three men and six women had perished. Seven hours later, an adult lady who was the seventh victim passed away in the hospital. Others are still in the hospital, some of them seriously hurt.
At the school, the 21-year-old Austrian shooter, who was armed with two guns, committed suicide. According to reports, he was a former student who felt bullied and failed his final examinations.
