Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern denounces Graz School Shooting as a "National Shock"
Workers' Safety Proposal Sought Over Radiation Exposure Risks by Commission
Skip the chit-chat and get straight to the point, mate! Let's talk about the tragic incident that took place at BORG Dreierschützengasse in Graz on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. What a bloody mess!
Ten people were brutally murdered in a school shooting, with twelve more injured initially. Unfortunately, one of the injured later died, making the death toll eleven, including the cold-blooded shooter himself.
The killer was a 21-year-old knobhead who once attended the school but failed to graduate. He acted solo and armed himself with two legal weapons: a long gun and a handgun.
There's no denying it was an appalling act, but it seems the motive behind the attack remains unclear. The suspect left a farewell letter and sent a farewell video to his mum. F**king morbid, isn't it? Authorities also found a non-functional pipe bomb in his house.
Chancellor Christian Kern, bloody hell, he's our man, didn't he say, "This tragedy has dealt a devastating blow to Austria, leaving us in a state of shock and grief." That's right, he's referred to it as a "National Shock."
The country put on a nationwide minute of silence in memory of the victims and lowered the flags on public buildings in a three-day national mourning period. Let's hope we can find a way to prevent such senseless acts in the future.

The Commission, the Council, and the European Parliament express their deepest sympathies following the tragic Graz School Shooting. This act emphasizes the need for action in promoting workplace-wellness and health-and-wellness, particularly mental health, in institutions like schools. As politics and general news continue to cover the incident, it is crucial to remember that such senseless acts have far-reaching impacts, not just on Austria, but on humanity as a whole. Science could play a vital role in understanding the root causes of such violent behavior to aid in preventing future incidents.
