Farewell letter found at the home of the Austrian school shooter but motive remains unclear
Candles light on the main square in the city center after a deadly shooting at a school in Graz, Austria, Tuesday, June 10, 2025. (AP Photo/Heinz-Peter Bader) Investigators found a farewell letter and a non-functional pipe bomb when they searched the home of a man who opened fire at his former school in Austria, killing 10 people and taking his own life, police said Wednesday. As Austria mourned the victims of what appeared to be the deadliest attack in its post-World War II history, with a national minute of silence planned Wednesday morning, questions remained about the motive of the shooter. The 21-year-old Austrian man lived near Graz and was a former student at the BORG Dreierschutzengasse high school, in Austria's second-biggest city, who hadn't completed his studies. Police have said that he used two weapons, a shotgun and a handgun, which he appeared to have owned legally. Police didn't elaborate on investigators' findings in a brief post on social network X. But a senior official who acknowledged that the letter had been found on Tuesday night said it hadn't allowed them to draw conclusions. "A farewell letter in analog and digital form was found," Franz Ruf, the public security director at Austria's Interior Ministry, told ORF public television. "He says goodbye to his parents. But no motive can be inferred from the farewell letter, and that is a matter for further investigations." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Milana, 38, Shows Her Huge Size In New Photos.

NEET-UG 2025: Students raise alarm over faulty papers, urge NTA action
Students and parents flag errors in NEET-UG 2025, urging the NTA to ensure fair evaluation amid rising concerns over faulty papers and content Nandini Singh New Delhi The NEET-UG 2025 examination, conducted on May 4 amid heightened security by the Ministry of Education in coordination with state authorities, is now facing backlash following reports of misprinted question papers and delays in grievance redressal. According to a report by The Times of India, students and parents have raised serious concerns over the layout of question papers in certain centres, urging the National Testing Agency (NTA) to respond swiftly and ensure fairness in the evaluation process. The results, expected to be released by June 14, hold high stakes for over two million aspirants vying for undergraduate seats in medicine, dentistry, and allied courses. Booklet errors lead to confusion In multiple examination centres, particularly in Sikar (Rajasthan) and Jamnagar (Gujarat), candidates reported receiving faulty booklets with misaligned page numbers and questions out of sequence. Students assigned Paper Code 47 in Sikar found that question 7 was immediately followed by question 15, creating confusion during the test. A similar issue affected candidates using Gujarati-medium Paper Code 48 in Gujarat. 'I lost precious time trying to match the questions on the answer sheet,' said one student. Some reported marking the wrong answers entirely due to the disordered layout. ALSO READ: Students asked to attempt faulty papers Despite attempts to alert invigilators during the examination, candidates claimed they were told to proceed with the faulty papers. Guardians later filed formal complaints with both the Gujarat government and the NTA, providing scanned copies of the defective booklets. 'Students even raised the issue during the test but were told to solve the faulty paper,' a parent noted in a written complaint, as reported by the news outlet. While the NTA declined to comment on the Sikar case, citing the matter as sub judice, the broader issue of paper quality remains unaddressed. Syllabus concerns compound student anxiety Alongside printing errors, candidates and coaching experts flagged questions they allege fall outside the prescribed NEET syllabus. One such instance is question 38 from Code 47, which reportedly required the use of calculus-based derivatives—a topic more commonly found in engineering entrance exams like JEE (Main). 'All questions were from the prescribed syllabus. The answer keys have been published and objections invited from candidates. These will be reviewed by a committee of subject experts,' an NTA official said. ALSO READ:
