Swedish police reported that around 10 people were killed in a shooting at an adult education school in Örebro. The incident occurred at Campus Risbergska, and authorities believe the shooter was among the dead. The exact number of injuries remains unclear, and officials have cautioned that the death toll could rise.
The school caters to individuals over 20 and offers a range of programs, including primary and secondary education, language courses for immigrants, and vocational training for those with intellectual disabilities.
The shooting was reported just after 12:30 p.m. local time, and police initially speculated the shooter may have been among those hospitalized.
Authorities later confirmed they believe the shooter acted alone, though they did not rule out the involvement of others.
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson expressed deep sorrow over the event, calling it a “very painful day for all of Sweden” and highlighting the terror experienced by those confined to classrooms. He later described it as “the worst mass shooting in Swedish history.” Although police do not consider the shooting to be terror-related, the motive remains under investigation.
