Dunblane to Graz: A history of school shootings in Europe – DW – 06/10/2025
Mass shootings at schools, universities and youth centers remain rare in Europe compared to the US. In recent decades, European governments have tightened gun laws in response to shootings. A school shooting in the Austrian city of Graz has left at least 10 people dead, marking the deadlist incidet of its kind in the country in recent decades. The tragedy has shocked Austria, where firearm violence in educational settings is rare. According to public broadcaster ORF, there have been four recorded incidents involving fireamrs at Austrian schools since 1993. None, however, resulted in more than one fatality — excluding the perpetrator — until now. Similar incidents on school or college campuses have occured elsewhere in Europe over the last few decades — several of which led to policy shifts. High profile school shootings in Europe When a shooter killed 16 children, aged between five and six, in the Scottish town of Dunblane in 1996, the UK government swiftly banned private ownership of handguns. German lawmakers raised the age limit for gun ownership and mandated random spot checks on gun owners to ensure they were storing guns according to regulations after mass shootings in the 2000s. In 2002, expelled19-year-old student Robert Steinhäuser opened fire at a school in Erfurt, killing 12 teachers, two students, a secretary and a policewoman, before killing himself. Then seven years later in the town of Winnenden, in southern Germany, a 17-year-old shot and killed 15 students, teachers and passers-by inside and near his former school. He was later killed in a shoot-out with police. In Serbia, authorities introduced spot checks at gun-owners' homes and launched an amnesty for unregistered firearms after a 13-year-old boy gunned down eight of his fellow pupils and a security guard at a primary school in the middle-class Belgrade district of Vracar in May 2023. The suspect was arrested soon after. And in December of the same year, a 24-year-old student killed 14 people at a university in Prague with a gun he legally owned. The gunman was killed at the scene, possibly by one of his own bullets. Czech lawmakers are now in the process of tightening firearms laws, according to reporting by the Associated Press. A massacre at a university in Prague shocked the Czech Republic in late 2023 and prompted nationwide reflection on gun laws Image:Far fewer school shootings than the US Massacres in schools or education settings remain rare in Europe compared to the United States. Though no direct comparison data on schools is available, research by the Rockefeller Institute of Government shows the US has suffered far more "public mass shootings" than countries with similar levels of economic development. Such incidents are defined by the New York-based think tank as involving "at least some victims who were targeted at random and/or for their symbolic value," excluding cases of state-sponsored violence or organized terrorism. According to their research, 109 such incidents were recorded in the US between 2000 and 2022, compared to six in France, five in Germany, three in Finland, and two in the UK, Austria, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland during the same time period. "While there are a multitude of factors contributing to these attacks, studies find the higher rate of public mass shootings in America is associated, at least in part, with less restrictive firearm laws and higher rates of civilian firearm ownership relative to many other countries," criminologist Jason R. Silva wrote in a research blog for the institute last year. Gun ownership rates are far higher in the US than in Europe Image: Lynne Sladky/AP Images/picture alliance In the European Union, the bloc's central executive inBrussels sets minimum regulations on owning and using guns across its 27 member states, which include Austria and Germany. National governments can choose to beef up the baseline rules with tougher measures. Though rates vary across Europe, the number of guns remains substantially lower than in the US. According to the Small Arms Survey , there were an estimated 120.5 civilian firearms per 100 people in the US in 2017. That figure was 4.6 in England and Wales, and 19.6 in both France and Germany. The estimate for Austria was 30 per 100 people, while Serbia ranked highest in Europe at 39.1. Tributes were laid in 2024 after a 17-year-old stabbed three young girls to death at a dance class in the English town of Southport Image: James Speakman/PA Wire/picture alliance Deadly knife attacks also claim children's lives in Europe Though shootings remain rare in Europe, knife attacks at schools are more common. France has seen a spate of school stabbings in recent years, including a teaching assistant who wasstabbed to death by a student in northeastern France on Monday. In October 2023, a man who was under surveillance for suspected Islamist radicalizationstabbed a teacher to death at the school he previously attended in the Northern French town of Arras — according to reporting by Le Monde newspaper. And in a case which shocked France in 2020, an 18-year-old beheaded French teacher Samuel Paty outside his school near Paris. In the UK, riots took place in multiple cities across the country last year after false information spread online about a 17-year-old who stabbed three girls aged six to nine to death at a dance class in Southport. And in Germany, state prosecutors charged a 17-year-old with four counts of attempted murder after a knife attack at a high school in the city of Wuppertal in February. A knife-wieldingattacker killed a seven-year-old child and injured several othersat a primary school in the Croatian capital Zagreb last December, while a student and a teacher were stabbed to death at a secondary school in northern Slovakia in January of this year.

Will more police in Germany be equipped with Tasers?
Germany's Interior Minister, Alexander Dobrindt (CSU), has spoken up in favour of equipping federal police with Tasers, citing an increased risk of physical violence to police officers in Germany. His comments have been welcomed by police union representatives who advocate for Tasers as a necessary protection for police officers. But the use of Tasers in law-enforcement is controversial and in some cases it has been lethal. Will police officers be issued with Tasers immediately? In an interview with t-online , Minister Dobrindt announced that a legal framework would be put in place this year, which would make it possible for federal police to carry Tasers. He also said that the federal government would provide the funding. 'We will do everything we can to ensure that our federal police officers can respond appropriately in any situation in the future,' he said. According to reporting by , many police officers in Germany already carry Tasers. Originally reserved for the exclusive use of special police units (SEKs) and customs officials, the devices have been introduced for patrol duty in Rhineland-Palatinate, North Rhine-Westphalia, Brandenburg, Bavaria, Schleswig-Holstein, Bremen, and Saarland in recent years. Advertisement Since 2023, pilot projects have also been underway in Berlin, Hamburg, Hesse, and with the federal police. Do German police need more protection? Minister Dobrindt's comments come against the backdrop of an increase in attacks on police officers, especially with knives. According to a report published by the BKA (Germany's Federal Criminal Police,) a total of 46,218 violent crimes against police officers were recorded in 2023 – an increase of 8 percent on the previous year and the sharpest recorded rise since 2017. A total of 105,708 police officers were threatened or attacked in Germany in 2023. "We must better protect our police officers," Dobrindt said according to media reports. "The Taser closes a dangerous gap between batons and service weapons," Who supports the use of Tasers? Representatives of the police have spoken out in favour of the plan. Andreas Roßkopf, chairman of the Germany's largest police union ( Gewerkschaft Polizei ) told the Rheinische Post that Tasers have a de-escalating effect. 'The tests show that even the threat of using them often calms heated situations,' Roßkopf said. Marcus Haider, a district chairman for another major German police union ( Deutsche Polizeigewerkschaft) described the advantages of Tasers over batons or firearms in a recent article . He noted that batons can only be used at a very close range, which puts officers at risk of injury. On the other hand, the use of firearms can often have lethal consequences. Police statistics show that Tasers are often fired at people suffering from mental health problems. According to the BKA report, roughly 20 percent of people shot by the police with Tasers in Germany in 2023 were subsequently transported to psychiatric institutions. READ ALSO: Germany mass stabbing suspect has 'psychological illness', police say What are the problems with Taser use? The interior minister's comments have drawn criticism from the Social Democrats (SPD), who are currently in the federal coalition with Dobrindt's CDU party. Advertisement Lower Saxony's Interior Minister Daniela Behrens (SPD) told the Süddeutsche Zeitung that arming the police further was not necessarily the best solution to tackling social problems. Members of the Left party have also raised concerns. 'This is not a measure to de-escalate the situation, but another step toward arming the police,' said Clara Bünger of the Left party. She also highlighted their potential risks adding, 'If the manufacturer's test subjects have to sign liability waivers due to possible fatal consequences, then we should ask ourselves whether such a device really belongs in the hands of police forces.' Despite police unions' advocacy of Tasers as a less-lethal alterative to firearms, their use has led to fatalities in Germany and elsewhere. According to the human rights organization Amnesty International, there have been at least ten deaths in Germany since 2021 in connection with the use of Tasers. Tasers fire two wire-connected darts from a short distance. Designed to deliver a strong electric pulse when they hit the skin, causing complete paralysis of the muscles for a few seconds, their use can have serious health consequences if used against people with heart diseases or cardiovascular problems.
