- A 21-year-old former pupil opened fire at BORG Dreierschützengasse high school in Graz, Austria, killing nine people and injuring twelve on Tuesday before taking his own life in the school toilets.

- Among the victims were six males and three females, consisting of both students and adults, as special forces quickly secured and evacuated the school shortly after the shooting began.
- Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker described the event as a "dark day" for the country, declared a three-day period of mourning, and called for a nationwide minute of silence to take place at 10 a.m. on Wednesday.
- The attack, deemed Austria's deadliest school shooting, shocked the nation and prompted increased security and international condolences as investigations continue.
