Austrian School Shooter Kills 10, Sends Farewell Video Before Attack

A 21-year-old former student, identified locally as Artur A, carried out a deadly school shooting at BORG Dreierschützengasse high school in Graz, Austria, killing at least ten people, including eight students and two adults, before committing suicide. Just moments before the attack, he sent a farewell video message to his mother, who notified police after opening the video 24 minutes later, though it was too late to prevent the massacre. Authorities also found a farewell letter and a homemade bomb during a search of the suspect's home, but officials have stated that no clear motive has been determined. The shooter legally owned the weapons used in the attack and was described as a bullied dropout who returned to his former school to carry out the rampage. Among the victims was a 15-year-old girl named Lea from Kosovo, whose family has expressed their grief publicly. Investigations continue into whether the victims were targeted or randomly chosen, with multiple people wounded across different parts of the school and nearby areas.
