"Multiple people have been killed in a shooting rampage at a school in Austria
after a former pupil opened fire inside two classrooms
before taking his own life in a toilet.

Authorities in Austria
have confirmed at least 10 people have died and dozens are injured, some seriously,
after a 22-year-old man entered a school in Graz armed with a shotgun and a pistol
before firing at around 10am this morning.

Teachers and pupils are said to have barricaded themselves inside classrooms before they were evacuated
with video showing terrified children holding each other's hands as they flee the building."

The perpetrator has been described as 22-year old "bullied ex-pupil". He probably wasn't bullied by the people he killed since he was older.

The suspected perpetrator purchased one of the weapons just a few days ago.

At three KAGES (Styrian Hospital Association) locations in Graz, injured people are being treated following the shooting. Two adults and five adolescents are being treated at the LKH University Hospital in Graz. "Two patients are in a very critical condition, five are seriously injured, and all are currently in surgery," KAGES said. Another victim is being treated at the LKH Graz II/West location, and four more injured people are being treated at the UKH Graz.
The motive is a mystery: Media reports suggest the 22-year-old former student felt bullied. However, the police have not yet confirmed this. It is also reported that the perpetrator fired a Glock pistol and a shotgun. The former student apparently owned both legally.

The shooter's first name and last name initial were published in the media.

Artur A. is a phantom online: No social media profiles can be found that can be definitively attributed to the 21-year-old Austrian. Thus, little is known today about the alleged greatest mass murderer in the history of the Second Republic.

The "Kronen Zeitung" reported on a suicide note found during a house search.

I just do not understand as a motive for mass murder: "I was bullied, so I need to go shoot some other people who had nothing to do with that bullying"

IMO:
I wonder if he chose to switch schools because he was so unhappy there or if he didn't have much of a choice due to poor academic performance?

These mass shooters choose to cause suffering in the same place they see as having "wronged" them.

They don't feel a connection to humanity/society, so the victims unfortunately don't matter to them.

They are mentally stuck back at that time and want to give up on life, so they choose evil instead of choosing to see that there could be a better future ahead for themselves. An abusive "If I can't be happy, neither will these people" way out.

I just do not understand as a motive for mass murder: "I was bullied, so I need to go shoot some other people who had nothing to do with that bullying"

That's not revenge if you harm people who didn't wrong you. Perhaps he was suicidal and wanted to die in infamy or he somehow blamed the teachers / the school for bullying. He reportedly shot up his old classroom on the third floor plus another classroom. Maybe it was a power trip to him.

Thank you, I'm perplexed why it is in the In the News and not "Rampage" section.
