Ten people have been killed in a school shooting in the Austrian city of Graz, police have said.
The incident took place at a secondary school in the northwest of the city.
Six females and three males were killed in the attack, according to the Interior Minister.
Police said the 21-year-old gunman took his own life in a school bathroom shortly after.
A further 28 people are being treated for their injuries in hospital, according to local media reports.
The gunman was an Austrian man and former student of the school who carried out the attack but didn’t graduate from the school.
In the same conference, officers confirmed the gunman was not known to police before the attack.
Current information suggests the gunman legally owned the two guns used in the attack and had a firearms license, police added.
Three days of mourning have been declared in Austria, and a nationwide minute’s silence will be held on Wednesday at 10:00 am local time in memory of the victims.
