AMOSLauf in Graz: Shots at the Borg shake parents and children!

On Tuesday, June 11, 2025, a tragic killing spree on Borg Dreierschützengasse in Graz occurred. In this incident, several shots fell, which led to the most serious injuries and numerous deaths. The parents of the affected school, who were very concerned about the well -being of their children, were particularly affected. A heartbreaking moment occurred when a girl called her mother and desperately asked for help.

Christian Stani, the singer of the band "All Attention", also spoke about the incident. He reported that his own son almost had been enrolled at the Borg School, but had chosen another school. Stani lives just about a kilometer from the crime scene and expressed his sympathy for the families concerned. At the same time, he showed himself relieved that he was able to pick up his son safely and questioned the hatred that leads to such violent deeds. 5min.at reports of the general relief among the parents who were able to close their children back in the arms.

rights of the victims and relatives

After the killing spree, the White Ring, an organization to support crime victims, pointed out that both injured and close members of killed or life -threatening people have claims under the crime victim Act (VOG). Accordingly, close relatives are considered "shock -damaged" and are recognized "immediately damaged". These relatives include the core family, partner as well as close friends and siblings with an intensive emotional community. Obits can also be included if there is a lived nuclear family relationship. KURIER emphasizes that important services such as assumption of costs for psychotherapy and pain money in the event of serious psychological impairments can be required.

For relatives of killed victims, there is a right to replace the funeral costs, while injured people have claims according to the VOG. The amount of these claims depends on the degree of injury. The decisive services include pain payment and therapy costs. The White Ring also offers support in the application according to the VOG as well as relief discussions and psychotherapeutic help. Sn.at emphasizes that all assistance must be applied for at the Ministry of Social Affairs in order to help the person concerned and their relatives.

This killing spree has brought great suffering to the city of Graz and the state of Austria, and the concern for security in schools is now being discussed more than ever. What remains is the question of how such tragedies can be prevented in the future.
