The city of Villach, Austria, is reeling after a tragic terror attack on Saturday.

A 23-year-old Syrian man fatally stabbed a 14-year-old boy and injured five others, sparking widespread grief and anger.

The attacker, who acted alone and was reportedly radicalized through social media, admitted he wanted to be killed by police.

In response, the traditional Villacher Fasching parade and TV broadcast were canceled, symbolizing the deep impact of the tragedy.

Thousands gathered for a candlelight vigil to honor the victims, while debates over security and immigration policies intensified.

The sudden closure of a local asylum center, despite no connection to the attacker, has drawn criticism.

Authorities continue to investigate as the community grapples with the aftermath.
