Ten people, including the attacker, were killed in the attack at the school in Graz. At least 30 people were wounded and sent for treatment, of which at least seven are in critical condition.
Austrian media reports that the attacker is a 21-year-old Austrian, a former student of the school. The motive of the attack is not known, and the attacker was previously unknown to the police.
According to so far unofficial information, he legally possessed weapons – a rifle and a pistol.
