At least 11 people, including the suspect, were killed and several others injured in a shooting at a school in the Austrian city of Graz, local media reported.

The suspect, a student, killed himself and was found in the washroom, Austrian state media ORF reported. He opened fire in two classrooms at the Borg Dreierschutzengasse high school, and police said bullying could have prompted him to carry out the crime.

Police said a major operation began around 10 am (local time) after gunshots were heard inside the school. Students and teachers were among those seriously injured in the shooting, according to ORF.
