On 10 June 2025, a mass shooting occurred at the Bundes-Oberstufenrealgymnasium Dreierschützengasse (BORG Dreierschützengasse), a federal upper secondary school in Graz, Austria. Police confirmed that 10 people were killed and 11 others were wounded by the shooter, while the gunman, identified as a 21-year-old former student named Artur A, died by suicide, sending the death toll to 11.
At around 9:55 CEST, gunshots were reported at the Dreierschützengasse high school. Neighbours say that the first shots were fired outside of the school before the gunman entered the building. Inside, he opened fire in at least two classrooms on the second floor. Around 40 gunshots were fired in total.
Police dispatched a total of 300 officers, including regular units, the tactical force Einsatzkommando Cobra, and a helicopter that was deployed as part of the response. The area was cleared within 17 minutes after the arrival of first responders and at 11:20, the situation was reported to be under control. A disaster alert was issued for nearby hospitals.
The suspected shooter was later found dead in a school lavatory, with authorities indicating that he likely shot himself.
A number of casualties were confirmed, though the exact number of wounded was not immediately released. According to the Austrian interior ministry, there were several deaths, and local media such as Kronen Zeitung and ORF reported at least 10 deaths. Graz Mayor Elke Kahr confirmed that the suspect was among the dead. Authorities evacuated the school and secured it later in the morning. The killed people were eight students and one teacher. Interior minister Gerhard Karner said during a press conference that six of the victims were female and three were male.
Media reports on the day of the shooting described at least twelve injured, with "some critically wounded". A total of 30 people were being treated at hospitals around Graz. The nearby Helmut List Halle was repurposed as an emergency triage centre for the injured. Five people were described as being in critical condition, while two, both adults, were in life-threatening condition. Of the latter, an adult woman died in hospital eight hours later.
The Bosnian embassy in Austria reported that two of those killed, a 17-year-old male and a teenage female, as well as an injured female were of Bosnian background, though none held Bosnian citizenship.
The suspected shooter was identified as a 21-year-old Austrian citizen named Artur A. from Graz-Umgebung District, who formerly attended the BORG, but never graduated. Part of the shooting took place in his former classroom.
He legally owned both firearms used in the shooting and had a firearms licence. Since the minimum age to get a firearm licence in Austria is 21, it was confirmed that he had requested it and then received it shortly before the attack. The Glock handgun was purchased a few days prior to the shooting while the shotgun had been in his possession for longer. He had no prior criminal record.
According to Kronen Zeitung, the suspect reportedly described himself as "a victim of bullying". According ORF chief editor Peter Unger, the information initially circulated on social media, which also suggested revenge as a possible motive. This claim was repeated in media immediately after the shooting, but Karner stated that the police investigation was ongoing and that details about the motive were "speculative". A suicide note saying goodbye to his parents was found by police during a search of his residence, but its contents were not immediately released.
