Watan-A tragic shooting occurred on Tuesday at a school in southeastern Austria, leading to the deaths of multiple individuals, including the suspected gunman, and leaving several others with severe injuries. The Austrian public broadcaster cited the Ministry of the Interior in confirming the fatalities.
According to a post by the Austrian police on platform X (formerly Twitter), “Special intervention units are on the scene,” describing the situation simply as a “shooting” without providing further public details at the time.
