Austria pauses to pay tribute. 

People stand together to remember those killed in Tuesday's shooting spree. 

+++SOT, Chiara Komlenic, former student+++ 
"It just hurts to see that young girls and boys will never come back, that they experienced the worst day of their lives where I had the best time of my life. I still know a few teachers, it just hurts a lot." +++

They came together to mourn and offer comfort after the deadliest mass shooting in Austria's post-war history. 

The Vice Mayor of Graz told DW the city is united in grief. 

+++SOT Vice Mayor+++ 
"We try to do these official meeting but also private meetings to hold eachother and give hope in any possible way." +++

On Tuesday, at around 10 in the morning, a gunman came into the school and opened fire. The former student killed ten people and then later himself. 

Here at his home, police found a non-functional pipe bomb together with a farewell letter. But they say the letter gave no clues about a possible motive. 

Back at the school, pupils have asked the media to respect their privacy. They say they are being well cared for by authorities.    

Today's minute of silence marks the start of three days of mourning in Austria.
