Premier: I'm Thinking of Families of Victims of Shooting Spree in Austria

Bratislava, 10 June (TASR) - I'm thinking of the families of the victims of the mass killing in the Austrian city of Graz, Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD) posted on a social network on Tuesday, adding that it's difficult to imagine what they are going through. According to him, the world, and Europe in particular, has gone mad. "The tragedy in Austria should lead us to reflect on whether we leave Europe at the mercy of freethinkers and fools or return to honest traditions and values," wrote the premier. A 21-year-old former student shot and killed ten people at a secondary school in Graz, an unprecedented tragedy in Austria, which declared three days of national mourning. Authorities announced a death toll of 11, including the attacker, who committed suicide. Twelve others were seriously injured. am
