A deadly school shooting has rocked the city of Graz in south-eastern Austria, with police confirming multiple casualties, including students and teachers.
Authorities launched an emergency response around 10:00 local time at a federal upper secondary school on Dreierschützengasse, near Graz’s central train station.
Gunshots were reported within the school building, prompting a major police operation involving special units and a helicopter. The Austrian Interior Ministry has confirmed several deaths, though the exact number of victims remains unverified. Local outlet Kronen Zeitung reports that at least eight people may have been killed, but official figures have yet to be confirmed.
Austrian state media reports that the suspected shooter is believed to have taken his own life in a school restroom. Injured students are being treated nearby at Helmut List Hall, which has been converted into a makeshift medical station.
Police spokesperson Fritz Grundnig stated that the situation remains fluid and urged the public to follow officers’ instructions. The school is currently being evacuated as the operation continues. Graz, Austria’s second-largest city, is located approximately 200 kilometers from Vienna.
