A truck rammed into students gathered for a cultural event in the Suzak district of Kyrgyzstan’s Jalal-Abad region. Twenty-nine people were injured and 18 of them were hospitalized. The rest of the casualties were provided with outpatient medical aid, and the condition of 3 injured children was serious, said authorities.
It was stated that the truck suddenly moved after it was parked and there was no driver inside.
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.
