STORY: Residents in the Austrian city of Graz held a vigil after a former pupil killed ten people and then himself at a secondary school on Tuesday (June 10).

Grief-stricken and stunned by this act of violence, people gathered in the main square of the city to light candles and seek comfort.

More than 300 police were called in after shots were heard around 10 a.m. at the school for pupils of 15 and above. Ambulances also arrived within minutes as the premises were cordoned off.

The Salzburger Nachrichten newspaper said in an unconfirmed report that the suspect had opened fire on pupils in two classrooms, one of which had once been his own. It said he had been a victim of bullying.
