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.

He said that wounded people were found on various levels of the school and, in one case, in front of the building.

Two people were confirmed killed and at least 57 injured, including seven children, according to the regional head Oleh Syniehubov. Live Events Emergency crews, municipal workers and volunteers worked through the night to extinguish fires, rescue residents from burning homes, and restore gas, electricity and water service. The strikes also caused widespread destruction in the Slobidskyi and Osnovianskyi districts, hitting apartment buildings, private homes, playgrounds, industrial sites and public transport. Images from the scene published by Ukraine's Emergency Service on Telegram showed burning apartments, shattered windows and firefighters battling the blaze. Kharkiv has been targeted frequently in recent months as Russian launches intense drone and missile attacks on civilian infrastructure. "We stand strong. We help one another. And we will endure," Terekhov said. "Kharkiv is Ukraine. And it cannot be broken."

'Somebody's paying them': Donald Trump says Los Angeles protests are being funded; watch video
LA protesters are 'Paid insurrectionists', says Donald Trump US President Donald Trump on Tuesday made a bold claim that the violent demonstrations in Los Angeles are being funded. Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump said, "Somebody's financing it. We're going to find out through [Attorney General] Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice who it is. " The president described the unrest in Los Angeles as a "full-blown assault on peace, on public order and on national sovereignty," and said those involved were not ordinary citizens but "paid insurrectionists." "These are paid troublemakers. They're agitators. They're paid," Trump repeated. Trump claimed that something so large in scale and resource-heavy during the protests must have been planned. "Do you think somebody walks up to a kerb and starts hammering pieces out, has all the equipment necessary and starts handing it out to people to use as a weapon?" the MAGA chief said. This statement followed Trump's decision to deploy 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 US Marines to the streets of Los Angeles after days of violent protests sparked by federal immigration raids. The president said the military deployment was necessary to protect federal assets, while critics, including California Governor Gavin Newsom and accused him of escalating tensions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "It's common sense... when there's no danger they'll leave. You would have had a horrible situation unless I sent them," Trump said. "You'd be reporting on a lot of death and a lot of destruction." However, California officials say the federal response has worsened the situation. Mayor Karen Bass declared a state of emergency and imposed a curfew in downtown LA, citing looting of 23 businesses and widespread property damage. Newsom, who has taken legal action to block the deployment, said, "Trump is turning the US military against American citizens. The courts must immediately block these illegal actions." A separate controversy erupted when Trump claimed to have spoken with Newsom to tell him to "do a better job". The governor denied any such conversation took place, saying, "There was no call. Not even a voicemail." Trump later accused Newsom of lying and showed Fox News a call log indicating a 16-minute call took place on June 7, not June 9 as he had earlier claimed, reports the Telegraph. Meanwhile, journalists covering the protests have reported being tear-gassed, shot with rubber bullets, or briefly detained. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the treatment of reporter Lauren Tomasi, calling her experience "horrific." Trump is reportedly using the protests to promote his immigration bill in Congress, with aides describing the moment as a political opportunity to rally support.
