Austrian reports state that at least nine people are dead following a school shooting that took place around 10 a.m. on Tuesday. The tragic incident occurred at the BORG school on Dreierschützengasse in Graz’s Lend district.
The shooter, reportedly a student at the school, opened fire in two classrooms before being found dead in a restroom. Authorities believe he acted alone and may have cited bullying as a motive.
While nine people have been confirmed dead, the number of those seriously injured has not yet been released.
