Austrian police: Working on assumption of sole suspect in Graz school shooting

Austrian police are currently working under the assumption that there is a single suspect involved in the deadly school shooting that occurred in Graz, the country’s second-largest city, on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. The incident took place at the Bundesoberstufenrealgymnasium Dreierschützengasse school, with multiple fatalities and injuries reported.

According to various sources, including state broadcaster ORF and local press, at least five people were killed and several others were injured. The suspected perpetrator, believed to be a student, is reported to have died by suicide. The incident unfolded around 10 a.m. local time, with special forces and emergency units swiftly responding to the scene.

The police operation is ongoing, with authorities working to gain an overview of the situation. The school has been evacuated, and the public has been advised to stay away from the area. The exact number of casualties and the full details of the incident are still being confirmed.

This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available. The city of Graz, with a population of approximately 300,000, is the capital of the southern Austrian province of Styria.
