At least 10 people killed in school shooting in Sweden

WORLD, Feb. 04 (YPA) – At least 10 people killed at an education center in central Sweden with a search in the school premises ongoing,

About 10 people including the gunman have been killed in a shooting at an adult education center on the outskirts of Orebro, police confirmed Tuesday.

The city is located about 200 kilometers (125 miles) west of Stockholm.

The school, called Campus Risbergska, serves students over age 20, according to its website. Primary and upper secondary school courses are offered, as well as Swedish classes for immigrants, vocational training and programs for people with intellectual disabilities.

The final death toll and the number of injured have not yet been definitively determined.

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

Police believe the perpetrator acted alone, and he wasn’t previously known to police, officials said.

Authorities said that there were no suspected connections to terrorism at this point, but police didn’t provide a motive.

Gun violence at schools is very rare in Sweden. But there have been several incidents in recent years in which people were wounded or killed with other weapons such as knives or axes.
