Ten people were killed in high school attack on Tuesday – the bloodiest in the country’s modern history.

The suspect, a 21 -year -old student at school, took his private life in a school bath shortly after the attack, according to the police. The authorities have not yet extracted any conclusions about the potential motivation of the militant.

The police said the victims were a teacher and nine students between the ages of 14 and 17. They are all Austrian citizens, except for the Polish person.

They added that his father, of Armenian origin, had not lived with them since his parents separated.

The police said the current information indicates that the shooter legally owns the guns used in the attack – a pistol and a gun – and had a firearms license. They added Forensic weapons are examined.

Interior Minister Gerhard Carner told a press conference earlier. The police confirmed that he was not known to the authorities before the attack.

Steioran police said that this rapid reaction “seems to have saved several life.”

The police have increased security measures around schools in the city since then.

Three days of mourning in Austria were announced after the attack, and a precise silence was held at the country level on Wednesday at 10:00 local time (08:00 GMT) on the anniversary of the victims. The Austrian flag was reduced to half of the mast on all public buildings.

After a minute silence in the main square in Grat, a woman, Tors, BBC News, told she knew one of the boys who died. He was 17 years old.

She said: “I know this family for a long time, including the son of the family, and I knew that he attended that school.

The accident is the most mass fire in the history of modern Austria.

Meanwhile, in 2016, a gunman opened fire at a concert in the town of Ninzeng, killing two people before he shot himself. Eleven people were injured in the attack.
