Islamabad, June 13, 2025 — Pakistan strongly condemned the mass shooting at the BORG Dreierschützengasse secondary school in Graz, Austria, that claimed the lives of ten individuals—nine students and one teacher—and injured more than a dozen others.

In an official statement, Pakistan’s Foreign Office expressed “deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies to the families of the innocent victims,” emphasizing a firm stance against terrorism in all its forms. The message reaffirmed Islamabad’s solidarity with Austria in mourning and resolving such tragedies.

The attack, which occurred on June 10, saw the gunman—identified as a 21‑year‑old former student—open fire before taking his own life in a school bathroom. Authorities also found bomb-making materials and a farewell letter at the suspect’s home, indicating premeditation.

Austria has declared three days of national mourning, with tributes including candle-lighting ceremonies in Graz and a minute of silence at 10:00 a.m. local time. The incident, one of the country’s deadliest school shootings, prompted calls for stricter gun control, with officials urging revisions to existing firearm laws.

Pakistan’s condemnation aligns with global reactions from governments and international organizations, highlighting the importance of solidarity in the face of terror and the protection of civilians—especially in educational institutions.
