About 10 people killed at school for adults in Sweden’s worst mass shooting
The gunman’s motive had not been determined by early on Wednesday as Sweden – where gun violence at schools is very rare – reeled from an attack.
Jonas Claesson, regional director of health and medical services, said that two of the gunshot victims were in intensive care on Wednesday. All of the victims are over age 18, officials said. No other patients related to the shooting were admitted to Orebro University Hospital overnight.
The school, called Campus Risbergska, offers primary and secondary educational classes for adults age 20 and older, Swedish-language classes for immigrants, vocational training and programmes for people with intellectual disabilities. It is on the outskirts of Orebro, which is about 200km (125 miles) west of Stockholm.
“Today, we have witnessed brutal, deadly violence against completely innocent people,” Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson told reporters on Tuesday hours after the tragedy.
