The Austrian police have released a more detailed explanation regarding the mass shooting that occurred at a school in Graz
According to law enforcement officials, the suspect responsible for this tragic act is a 21-year-old resident of the region who, unfortunately, disappeared from the scene the day before and took his own life. This information is reported by the publication "European Truth," citing the reputable German source Der Standard. According to official investigators, the young man was not previously involved in criminal cases; however, he held permits for the possession of a long-barreled firearm and a pistol. During the operation at the scene of the tragedy, two weapons were confiscated, which are believed to be the ones used during the attack. The police emphasized that the shooter was alone at the time of the crime, and all circumstances of the incident are currently being investigated, including the possible influence of bullying or psychological issues. Austrian Interior Minister Gerhard Karner stressed in a press statement that the investigation is focused on establishing all the details of the tragedy. He said that investigators have every reason to believe that the attacker acted alone and that his motives remain unclear for now. The minister also added that the shooter likely committed suicide inside the school building, which complicates the process of clarifying all the details of the case. Overall, the incident resulted in ten deaths: seven young people – six girls and three boys – unfortunately did not survive. An additional 12 people were injured with varying degrees of severity. In connection with this, the government announced a three-day national mourning, and residents of Graz and the entire country of Austria are expressing deep condolences and concern for the victims and their families. The attack took place on the morning of June 10 at the educational institution located on Drärerschüßengasse Street. This is one of the greatest tragedies in the modern history of the city, shocking not only the local residents but also the entire Europe. For now, authorities are calling for patience and caution in comments, as active investigations are ongoing to clarify all the circumstances of this tragedy. The focus remains on understanding the motives of the attacker and the possible psychological reasons that may have driven him to commit such a brazen and bloody act.
