VIENNA (Reuters) -Austria plans to tighten its gun control rules after a 21-year-old killed 10 people then killed himself in the country's worst school shooting by far, the conservative-led government said on Wednesday.

The gunman, a former pupil at the school in the southern city of Graz, owned the two firearms he used in his rampage, a shotgun and a Glock pistol, legally.
