School shooting in Austria: at least ten dead, including students

Ten individuals, including seven students, have died and up to 30 are injured following the morning shootout at a school in Dreierschützengasse, Graz in southeastern Austria

Elite armed police have raced to a school in Graz, Austria’s second largest city, after a gunman opened fire in broad daylight.

The BORG Dreierschützengasse school has been evacuated with officers swarming the scene. Austrian special task force Cobra has also been deployed to the horror incident, which was reported at about 10am local time. Footage filmed inside a classroom shows terrified students reacting to the sound of gunfire outside.

Ten people have died including seven students, the mayor has confirmed, and up to 30 people are injured, two critically. The shooter, believed to have been a former student at the school, took his own life at the scene.
