Shock in Schwaz: 13-year-old threatens classmates with weapons!

Schwaz, Österreich - What happened in Schwaz? On Thursday evening, a 13-year-old student spoke a dangerous threat to classmates and school during a video chat. This explosive situation occurred in Tyrol, and in the background of the chat there were weapon -like objects that caused a sensation. The affected classmates informed their parents on Friday, who immediately informed the police. This then moved out and interviewed the student, who admitted the threat, but indicated that he had not meant it seriously. According to the report of the Allgäuer Zeitung [Allgäuer Zeitung] (https://www.allgaeuer-zeitung.de/oesterreich/Schueler-schueler-pricht-det- against-110011826), Airsoft weapons had been shown in the video chat.

But the situation is more complicated than it seems at first glance. There is already a ban on weapons against the 19-year-old from whom the weapons come. During a search of his apartment, the police not only ensured several airsoft weapons, but also ammunition and knife. The 19-year-old is now displayed, which further exacerbates and takes a serious look at the handling of weapons.

But this incident is not isolated, but part of a major problem in Austria, which is also taken seriously by political decision -makers. After a violent act in Graz, in which a 21-year-old shot nine young people and a teacher at his former school, the Austrian government has initiated the tightening of the gun laws. Chancellor Christian Stocker announced that stricter rules for possession and purchase of weapons should come to prevent incidence such as this. Among other things, the minimum age for weapons buyers and the psychological tests for the purchase of an gun ownership card are to be improved, according to a report by [DW] (https://www.dw.com/de/ effects

Cases like in Schwaz raise many questions. Already on Tuesday there was the terrible act in Graz, in which the perpetrator used a legally obsessed pistol and a sawn -off shotgun. These weapons were grown in a terrifying uncomplicated manner, which underlines the need for stricter controls. The perpetrator, who was described as introverted, did not have simple entrances to the real world, but was limited to his contacts in virtual space and its preference for first-person shooters.

As part of the political discussion, suggestions are also made to increase police presence and to improve data exchange between the authorities. The aim is to better observe endangered young people and to be able to intervene faster if there is any signs of danger. A comprehensive approach is necessary to prevent such events in the future.
