Grazer AmoFlauf: Carinthia mourns the loss of fatal school explosion!

In the morning of June 10, 2025, the Borg Dreierschützengasse in Graz took a tragic killing spree that shakes the entire nation. At least ten people, including the alleged perpetrator, a 22-year-old former school in the school, had to let their lives. Numerous other people are seriously injured and receive medical care. The shock wave goes through Graz and far beyond.

The alleged perpetrator carried a pistol and a shotgun with it, both weapons were legally obsessed. He shot in his former classroom, which only reinforces the cruel reality of his deeds. The police confirmed that all the necessary security measures were initiated to evacuate the school and to bring the pupils and teachers to safety. Over 160 rescue workers and several helicopters were used to supply the injured and bring the situation under control. The population was urgently asked to avoid the school and to follow the instructions of the security forces. Tagesschau reports

political reactions and demands

The political landscape of Carinthia is deeply affected after this catastrophe. Deputy Governor Martin Gruber (ÖVP) expressed his sympathy for the victims and their families and emphasized the need to prevent violence in schools. "We have to make sure that schools of security remain," said Gruber. This illustrates the urgent need to rethink existing security concepts and at best strengthen.

Klagenfurt Mayor Christian Scheider (List Scheider) also made clear claims and advocated immediate security measures at schools. This includes personal checks and safety locks to avoid such incidents in the future. Scheider spoke of the "Safe" initiative and the need for "amok training" by the police in Klagenfurt. These concepts could make a decisive contribution to strengthening the feeling of security in schools.

a dark day for Carinthia

Gerhard Köfer, head of Team Carinthia, described the incident as one of the darkest days in the history of the state. "We have to stand together now and do everything for it so that something like this never repeats itself," he said urgently. Chancellor Christian Stocker has already called up a crisis team and canceled all the upcoming appointments to devote themselves to the serious topic.

The killing spree in Graz is not only a tragedy for those affected, but also a wake -up call to all of us to take the topic of security seriously. In times when violence is increasingly coming to the fore, it is due to politics, society and everyone involved, more to take measures to prevent such accidents.

In these difficult hours, our sympathy applies to the victims and their relatives, while the entire nation mourn the event. The EU Commission has already expressed its sympathy via social networks and has expressed condolences for the city of Graz. Let us not leave people alone in their pain.
