Austria’s chancellor says his country will toughen its gun laws after a 21-year-old former student killed nine students and a teacher at his school last week in what’s considered the Alpine country’s deadliest post-war attack.

Officials in Austria say a school shooting has left at least 10 people dead in the European nation's second-largest city, Graz. The shooter is also dead.

A gunman who opened fire and killed nine people before taking his own life in a school in Austria was a former student of the college, police have confirmed. Authorities said the gunman, a 21-year-old Austrian national, opened fire at the BORG school in Graz just after 10am local time.
