AMO run in Graz: 110 cartridges and an eerie motif!

Graz, Österreich - On June 18, 2025, a killing spree in Graz shook the public and brought the debate about gun violence and security again at schools. With a total of 110 cartridges and five fully invited magazines, the perpetrator had considerable firepower for a glock pistol, almost 20 other cartridges and a shotgun. A picture of the gunner was taken in a toilet facility shortly before the crime and confirmed as real. These frightening details were reported by the platform Vol.at

The fact that the police were able to assign around 30 deleted social media accounts to the perpetrator was particularly worrying. In his online activities, he glorified past school massacre, especially the killing spree at the Columbine High School, in which 13 people died in Colorado in 1999, including students and one teacher. The discussion about the weapons laws in the United States, which is characterized by such tragic events, still remains tricky, since there has been no real reform, such as t-online.de explained.

consequences for the victims and the public

The police have asked more than 50 witnesses on June 12th on June 12 to investigate the background of the killing spree. The health of the injured is serious; Two people are currently in the intensive care unit, while seven more are treated at normal stations. Fortunately, two people could already be released from the hospital.

In the week after the incident, there were around 30 police operations in schools in Graz after running riders spread impending news. A 19-year-old was also arrested in Niedernösterreich, who had sent an amok threat by email. The police make it clear that the public glorification of such acts is punishable and falls under the facts of the "Corporation Course of a punishment threatened with punishment".

The further debate about gun violence

The rampages of the past few years in the United States have shown an alarming chronology of deadly school massacre. Events such as the killing spree at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, in which 21 people, including 19 children, were killed, or the tragic incident in Sandy Hook, where 26 people, including 20 children, lost their lives, show the urgency of such a debate. According to Deutschlandfunk Nova , the question remains unanswered. In particular, the discussion about gun law and the glorification of such acts is of central importance for security in schools.

The investigation in Graz continues and it remains to be seen in the future in order to obtain an even deeper understanding of the motives and circumstances that led to this shocking incident.
