The mass shooting at Sweden's adult education center killed at least 10 including the gunman, were killed on Tuesday. Further commenting on the mishap, Sweden's prime minister Ulf Kristersson termed it the country's worst mass shooting.

“Today, we have witnessed brutal, deadly violence against completely innocent people. This is the worst mass shooting in Swedish history. Many questions remain unanswered, and I cannot provide those answers either.” Kristersson told, as per the Associated Press.

“But the time will come when we will know what happened, how it could occur, and what motives may have been behind it. Let us not speculate,” he further added.

“What happened today in Örebro is truly horrifying,ph11” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wrote on social media. “Such violence and terror have no place in our societies — least of all in schools. In this dark hour, we stand with the people of Sweden.”

About The Mass Shooting

The shooting on Wednesday erupted after many students had gone home after a national exam. Upon receiving information, police vehicles and ambulances promptly reached the venue.

Quoting teacher Lena Warenmark, the Associated Press reported that there were unusually few students on the campus Tuesday afternoon after the exam. She also told that she heard probably 10 gunshots.

Students were quickly sheltered in a nearby building as the school was evacuated following the shooting, which began at around 12:30 pm local time (1130 GMT).

What Did The Police Say?

Roberto Eid Forest, head of the local police told AP that the damage at the crime scene was so extensive that investigators were unable to be more definitive about the number of fatalities.

He further added that the suspected gunman was among those killed. Police believe the perpetrator acted alone, and he wasn't previously known to police, officials said.

“Of course, we all want to understand why this happened, what occurred, and what motives the perpetrator may have had,” Kristersson said. “We will have to wait for those answers — in due time, the picture will become clearer.”

Police raided the suspect's home after Tuesday's shooting, but it wasn't immediately clear what they found. Eid Forest said there were no warning signs before the attack. Authorities were working to identify the deceased.
