Around 1.8 million Muslims in Mecca prayed for Eid-al-Adha in the Kaaba after completing the Day of Arafah. Millions of pilgrims who completed the circumambulation ritual performed the Eid prayer here. The pilgrims will then move to perform “stoning of the devil” at the Jamarat in Mina.
A former student opened fire at a middle school in Graz, Austria, killing 9 people and then himself. The attacker, a 21-year-old Austrian citizen, carried out the attack with two legally licensed weapons before committing suicide in the school bathroom.
Twelve others were injured. Officials confirmed the assailant had no prior criminal record and had not graduated from the school. Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocke declared a three-day national mourning and called for a moment of silence at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday. The school remains closed as investigations continue.
