A tragic shooting in Graz, Austria, saw a 21-year-old gunman kill 10 individuals and injure around a dozen others. Using a shotgun and a pistol, the attacker, who had a history as a former student at the targeted school, took his own life after the assault. A minute of silence and national mourning reflected the impact of this devastating event, which prompted discussions on gun control due to the shooter's access to legally owned firearms. Despite his farewell letter, authorities have stated that no clear motive is discernible, intensifying the investigation.
