King Charles has sent a message following a school shooting in Austria.
He wrote, “My wife and I were deeply shocked and saddened to learn about the appallingly tragic events at the Dreierschützengasse school in Graz. Schools should be places of sanctuary and learning, which makes this horrific attack on students and staff all the more dreadful.
“Our most heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the families of all those affected by this terrible loss of life and injury. We send our deepest sympathy to all Austrians at this profoundly distressing time. Charles R.”
