Austria has declared three days of mourning after an armed attack on a school in Graz, the country’s second-largest city.

According to the latest data, nine people were killed and twelve others injured during the attack. The assailant was a 21-year-old man from Graz, Austria, who had previously been a student at the same school but did not graduate. He ultimately committed suicide in the school’s restroom.
