Police have released details regarding what was found during a search at the suspected shooter’s home after he allegedly opened fire at a school in Austria, killing 10 people and himself.

On Tuesday, June 10, at approximately 10 a.m. local time, officers responded to the shooting at the BORG Dreierschützengasse in the city of Graz, local public broadcaster ORF previously reported.

Per the BBC and the Associated Press, 10 have now died following the attack, citing authorities. The suspect, who is a 21-year-old former student who did not graduate from the high school, reportedly died by suicide in the school bathroom, police believe, the BBC reported. The outlet added that the 10th victim had died in the hospital.

The suspect or any of the victims have not yet been officially identified and a motive for the shooting remains unclear.

Austrian newspaper Kleine Zeitung and the Austria Presse Agentur (APA) stated that the young people killed were between 15 and 17 years old. A teacher has also died, per the APA. 

Seven women and three men died in the attack, the BBC reported. Multiple people injured in the shooting remain in local hospitals, the APA noted.

On Wednesday, June 11, local police shared details about the suspected shooter on X, writing in one translated post, “During a search of the 21-year-old perpetrator’s home, a suicide note and a non-functional pipe bomb were found.”

Per the APA and Kleine Zeitung, a farewell video was also seized. The APA noted that the clip had been sent to the suspected shooter’s mother.

Kleine Zeitung reported that police explosives experts had also seized apparently abandoned plans for a bomb attack as well as discovering the non-functional pipe bomb.

The APA stated that the suspected shooter had allegedly owned the shotgun and pistol used in the attack, but “should not have been allowed to carry them under any circumstances,” citing police spokesperson Sabri Yorgun.
