Arnold Schwarzenegger comments on the killing spree in Graz: Heart heavy

Graz, Österreich - this day, June 11, 2025, the tragic killing spree in Graz, Austria, triggered great dismay. The well -known actor and former governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, spoke up after this incident and was deeply affected. He published an emotional statement about the "Schwarzenegger Institute" he founded, which has been dealing with sociopolitical issues such as education, climate and security since its foundation in 2012. In his statement, he expresses his grief about the school shootout in Graz: "Our hearts are difficult", Schwarzenegger is quoted. The institute is at the side of the families affected and all of Austria.

The incident is particularly serious for Schwarzenegger, since his home town of Thal is only about 20 minutes by car from the crime scene. He was only in the region a few days ago. It is also known that Schwarzenegger took a pioneering role in the demand for stricter arms laws in the United States during his term as governor from 2003 to 2011. Despite his film career, which was often characterized by violent content, the actor is constantly committed to the spread of weapons in real life. This attitude becomes particularly clear against the background of the current events.

The context of amotlets

The shocking events in Graz also take a critical look at the global problems with amotlets, especially at schools. In the United States, amo runs have become a terrifying part of reality. A particularly tragic case occurred in Uvalde, Texas, where an 18-year-old man killed at least 19 schoolchildren and two teachers at a primary school. Before that, he shot his own grandmother. Such incidents have unfortunately no exceptions in recent decades.

statistics demonstrate the alarming frequency of such violent acts. Since 1982, according to the magazine "Mother Jones", there have been a total of 128 "Mass Shootings" in the USA, which cost 1,033 people and resulted in 1,464 injuries. In the past ten years, this trend has continued with 73 other "Mass Shootings". The figures in schools are particularly frightening: since the 1980s there have been 19 amo runs with 195 deaths and 220 injured. In the past ten years, nine of these terrible incidents that cost 104 people have occurred.

The situation in Graz and the repeated amoclaces that make headlines worldwide illustrate the need for a comprehensive discussion about weapons laws and the handling of violence in society. While the grief for Graz's victims is still fresh, the question of prevention and security must be intensified in our schools. The words of Schwarzenegger and the shattering statistics from the USA show that there is an urgent need for action.
