Graz School Shooting Kills 10, Austria Mourns

Austria is in national mourning after a 21-year-old former student, Artur A., killed ten people—including nine teenagers and a teacher—at the BORG Dreierschützengasse school in Graz on June 10, 2025, before taking his own life. The attack, carried out with two legally owned firearms, is the deadliest mass shooting in Austria since World War II. Authorities discovered a non-functional pipe bomb and evidence of abandoned plans for a bombing at his home. Artur A. left a suicide note and sent a farewell video referencing bullying, but police have not confirmed a definitive motive. Emergency forces evacuated the school and restored security within 17 minutes, while students and staff recounted barricading themselves for safety. Vigils and condolences from across Austria reflect the profound shock and grief following the tragedy.
