Shooter kills at least nine in attack on Austrian school, mayor says

VIENNA, June 10 (Reuters) – A shooter killed at least nine people and wounded many others in an attack at a secondary school in the southern Austrian city of Graz on Tuesday, the city’s mayor said.

Graz Mayor Elke Kahr was quoted by Austrian news agency APA as saying the attacker was also dead, and that many of the injured had been taken to the hospital following the shooting, which she called a “terrible tragedy”.

Police gave no initial toll but said “several” people were dead and they were working under the assumption there was only one attacker. The APA video showed emergency workers loading a stretcher into an ambulance.
