There is shock, sadness and disbelief in Graz, after the worst shooting in modern Austrian history left 11 people dead, including the gunman.
"We never could have imagined that this could have happened here, in our place. It's a sad day for the whole city," said Reka, who lives close to the school.
For many years, Austria had been spared the pain of mass school shootings.
But that all changed at about 10:00 on Tuesday when a former student ran amok at a secondary school in the Dreierschützengasse, close to the main station in Austria's second largest city.
Morning classes were under way when the attack took place. Some students at the school would have been taking their final exams.
