JUST IN - Bloodshed in Austria: At least 10 dead in school shooting in Graz
The mayor of Graz, Elke Kahr, said the presumed shooter, several students and another adult, thought to be a teacher, were among the fatalities in the attack, the deadliest in Austria's postwar history. Local media reported that as many as 30 people had been injured.
The gunman, reportedly a former pupil, opened fire in two classrooms at about 10am local time (0900 BST). Ninety minutes later police said there was "no further danger" after a major security operation involving special forces and police helicopters.
Pupils and staff were evacuated from the BORG Dreierschützengasse high school in Graz and the building was being thoroughly searched, a police spokesperson said. Police confirmed that 10 people had died, including the perpetrator.
Citing police sources, local media reported that the gunman was a 22-year-old former student of the school and was armed with two weapons, a pistol and a shotgun, both legally owned, one of which he turned on himself.
Families were gathering at a nearby sports hall where crisis intervention teams were on hand. The area around the school was cordoned off and public transport was diverted, with all streets surrounding the school guarded by armed officers.
A spokesperson for the Austrian Red Cross told the public broadcaster ORF that more than 160 responders were at the scene, including emergency doctors and paramedics. Two information points were available for the school's students and relatives.
Media reports said he died by suicide and his body was found in a bathroom.

Australia has one of the most restrictive gun ownership laws in the world.
Their laws were to guarantee this could not happen.
All guns are registered after the owner proves they need it.
So, this is AI generated as, like the Democrats in the USA, more gun laws prevent this from happening.
Or maybe, if just one teacher was allowed to conceal carry......»
