In Graz, the second largest city in Austria, a massacre occurred at the Borg high school when a 21-year-old former student, Arthur A., armed with a shotgun, killed ten people before committing suicide. The attacker acted alone, and the motives are not fully clear, although there is speculation about possible bullying. Austrian authorities are investigating the case, and the country declared three days of mourning. The incident shocked the community and led to calls for stricter gun laws. Many events in Graz were canceled as a mark of respect, and parents and citizens are deeply affected by the tragedy.
