AMOSLauf in Graz: Sad record and questions without an answer

Dreierschützengasse, 8020 Graz, Österreich - On June 10, 2025, a tragic killing spree on Borg Dreierschützengasse in Graz, which leaves deep scars in the community. Norbert Urabl, the deputy director of the school, described the dramatic events in an interview with Armin Wolf in ZIB2. According to VOL.AT there was initially a bang noise on the day of the incident, which later turned out to be shots. Urabl reported on an atmosphere full of uncertainty and many unanswered questions in the school environment. In the first moments after the change of shooting, teachers and students react carefully. They barricaded doors and taken protective measures before the police arrived with an operational command.

The perpetrator, a 21-year-old former school at the school, was able to kill ten people within just seven minutes, including seven women and three men, with a teacher being among the victims. After the killing spree, the perpetrator was found dead on a school toilet, possibly through suicide. When searching his place of residence, the police discovered a non -functional pipe bomb and plans for an explosive attack, such as news.de. A farewell letter from the perpetrator was found, but does not contain any evidence of his motif. The speculation about possible bullying reasons is assessed by Urabl as sensitive and should be treated with caution.

reactions and effects

The school was temporarily closed after the incident and the disaster alarm was triggered in Graz. All people at school were certainly evacuated and brought to a safe meeting point. The police are currently assuming a single offender, which is why the danger for the residents is considered to be banned. Nevertheless, the ambiguity of everyday school life remains in the coming days; Normal lessons cannot currently take place, as Urabl reports.

In the sequence of the killing spree, a three -day state mourning for the victims is lodged in Austria. Crisis hotlines for those affected and relatives have been set up. Federal President and Chancellor expressed their condolences and sympathy. The discussion about weapons laws in Austria is initiated because the perpetrator acted with two legally acquired weapons - a pistol and a shotgun -.

prevention and crisis management

The incidents have again aware of the importance of emergency plans in schools. Emergency situations such as this require a quick intervention, whereby schools must be prepared for violent incidents and damage events. Regular exercises for coping with emergency, the possibility of awareness of signs of problems in students and dealing with crises are central topics that should be treated in schools, such as how [Schulische- Gewaltpravervention.org] (http://schulische-chwaltpravervention.org/index.php/handbuecher-chwaltpraiventrung/sekundarstufe/handeln-in-in- problem situations/amoclauf-an-schulen/420-mit-kriseenerfärts) emphasized.

It becomes clear that in addition to the discussion about legal regulations, there is also a social responsibility to reduce the willingness to use violence. The tragedy of the killing spree should be an impetus to raise awareness of bullying and health problems among students and to develop sustainable prevention measures. The responsibility for all - from the school management to the students themselves - is to recognize and encounter problems at an early stage through attention and interaction.
