School Shooting in Graz: Eleven Dead
A gunman opened fire at a secondary school in the Andritz district of Graz, Austria, on June 10, 2025, killing ten students and staff and wounding eleven others before taking his own life. The attack was the deadliest school shooting in Austrian history and one of the worst in Europe. Austria's firearms regulations, among the strictest in Europe, came under immediate scrutiny as investigators examined how the shooter obtained his weapons. The tragedy prompted vigils across the country and reignited continent-wide debate over school security measures, mental health screening for gun purchasers, and the adequacy of threat assessment protocols in educational institutions.
