Tragedy in Graz, Austria, where a shooting inside a school left 10 dead and several seriously injured. The attack was carried out by Artur A., a 22-year-old Austrian citizen and former student of the school.

The weapons and the dynamics of the attack
According to a press conference held by the Austrian police, accompanied by Chancellor Christian Stocker, Interior Minister Gerhard Karner, Styrian Governor Christopher Drexler Kunasek and Graz Mayor Elke Kahr, the attacker was armed with a pistol and a hunting rifle. He opened fire in two classrooms, firing at least 40 shots.
