At least 10 people were killed and several others injured in a school shooting Tuesday in the southern Austrian city of Graz.

A spokesperson for the Graz police told NBC News that 10 people had died, including the suspected perpetrator, following the incident at the BORG Dreierschützengasse school, a secondary school located in the northwest of the city.

Austrian Interior Minister Gerhard Karner said at a press conference Tuesday that nine lives were "taken from us, including six females and three male." He added that 12 people were also injured.

The police added that they had identified the suspected shooter as a 21-year-old from Graz, adding that he appeared to have died in the bathroom by suicide.

The shooter used two guns that were later recovered from the school, the police said, adding that there was only one suspect involved in the shooting.
