PM declares ‘worst mass shooting in Swedish history’ after gunman kills 10 on school campus

At least 10 people were killed and an unconfirmed number of others were injured during a school shooting in central Sweden on Tuesday, according to police reports.

The condition of those injured remains unclear, but police say the shooter took his own life at the scene, resulting in a total death toll of 11. Police say the shooting took place at the Risbergska School in Orebro, Sweden. Police have not identified any of the victims or the shooter.

Risbergska is an adult education center, meant for those who did not complete primary or secondary school, according to the BBC. The school also offers Swedish language classes for migrants.

“The investigation is somewhat unclear,” The local head of police, Roberto Eid Forest, said during a briefing. “It is unclear whether the shooting took place inside the school (building) or whether there may be more perpetrators.”

“This is the worst mass shooting in Swedish history,” Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said in a statement.

Andreas Sundling, 28, was among those forced to barricade themselves inside the school.

“We heard three bangs and loud screams,” he told Expressen newspaper while sheltering in a classroom. “Now we’re sitting here waiting to be evacuated from the school. The information we have received is that we should sit and wait.”

Police have made no statements regarding a potential motive for the shooting, and they have not declared it an act of terrorism.

Teacher Lena Warenmark told SVT News that there were unusually few students on the campus Tuesday afternoon because many went home after a national test. She also told the broadcaster that she heard probably 10 gunshots.

“The reports of violence in Orebro are very serious. The police are on site and the operation is in full swing,” Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer told Swedish outlet TT.
