Sweden has declared a day of national mourning following a shooting at the Campus Risbergska adult education center in Örebro, about 200 kilometers west of Stockholm, on Wednesday. Flags at the parliament and the royal palace were lowered to half-mast on Wednesday, February 5.

Six victims remain in hospital

Örebro police chief Roberto Eid Forest told a news conference that the suspected gunman was dead when police found him. Law enforcement officials said 11 people were killed in the attack, all of whom have not yet been identified.

According to the director of the regional health service, Jonas Klasson, six victims remain in hospital, five of whom have life-threatening gunshot wounds. The patients are currently in stable condition, while two are still in intensive care.

The motive for the attack remains unknown. Investigators believe he acted alone and the attack was not a terrorist attack. The suspected attacker was not previously known to police. In addition, law enforcement officials have denied some of the versions circulating on social media. At the moment, the investigation has found no reason to believe that the perpetrator was motivated by ideological motives.

Swedish officials: the worst mass shooting in the country's history

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson called the incident in Örebro "the worst mass shooting in Swedish history." Swedish Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer assessed the situation as "extremely serious." “This incident has shaken our society to its core. We may have read the news in horror about other countries, but this is something we thought would never happen in Sweden,” he said.

The day before, students at the training center, who had managed to take refuge with their teachers in a nearby restaurant, reported that a “masked man” had entered the school and opened fire.

The center of Rysbergsk has several educational institutions, including one for children, but it mainly serves people over the age of 20 who receive secondary and further education. Among other things, it offers Swedish language courses for immigrants and vocational training courses for the disabled. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
