Thousands of people in Austria have held a candlelight vigil for the victims of a school shooting in which 10 people were killed.

Police said the 21-year-old suspect, a former student, took his own life in a school bathroom shortly after the gun attack in Graz on Tuesday – the deadliest in the country’s recent history.

In a statement on Wednesday, police said they found a “farewell letter” and a non-functional pipe bomb during a search of the suspect’s home. Authorities have not confirmed the gunman’s motive.

The incident, which left a further 12 people injured, took place at Dreierschützengasse secondary school in the north-west of the city. (BBC)
