Sweden raided the deadliest mass firing in his history on Wednesday after 10 people were shot dead in a firing at an adult educational center in the central city of Orbro.

Several media said the suspected gunman turned his gun on himself – but police did not confirm the reports.

“Eleven people have died, including the killer, about the massacre at Campus Rasburgska, a secondary school for young adults, on Tuesday.”

Six people are being treated at a hospital at Orare University on Wednesday, local health officials said.

Five of them – three women and two men had surgery with bullets and were in a “stable but serious” state.

Orebro County officials said in a statement that a woman was also being treated for minor injuries, adding that all the injured are more than 18 years old.

“This is the worst firing in Swedish history,” Prime Minister Al -Kirsten told a late press conference on Tuesday.

Christson noted that many “questions were still not answering”.

“But there will come a time when we will know what happened, how it can happen and what motivations can be behind it,” Chrison urged people not to “speculate”.

“The purpose of the shooting is not yet known, but all the indications are that the culprit worked alone without ideological stimulation,” said the Orero police.

Police have not disclosed any information about the identity or age of the dead, nor were they students or teachers at the school.

School attacks in Sweden are rare relatively rare, but the country has suffered from firing and bombing of groups of violence that kill dozens of people every year.

“The culprit is not known to the police, he has no gang affiliation. We are sure there will be no more attack,” said Babaro Police Chief Roberto Eid Farrest.

‘Apathetic, soundless’

Swedish television channel TV4 reported that police raided the suspect’s house at the end of Tuesday afternoon and in Babar.

It states that the suspect was about 35 years old and had a license to have a weapon and had no criminal record, but he did not provide any details about his identity.

The newspaper Our Bloodet quoted family members as saying that the man lived unemployed, was unemployed, and had removed himself from his family and friends.

The firing took place on Tuesday afternoon.

“I was standing there, seeing what’s happening, and I was here when I saw some bodies lying on the ground. I don’t know if they were dead or injured,” 16 -year -old Lin , Who goes, who goes. The school told an AFP representative at the scene near the site of the massacre.

He added, “There was blood everywhere, people were panicked and crying, parents were upset … it was chaos.”

The 36 -year -old Liu Demier, whose son studies at a school near Campus Rasburgaska, said she was surprised to hear about the shooting.

He told AFP on Wednesday morning, “I became unconscious, soundless. I didn’t really know where to go.”

His son also has gym classes in Campus Risbragska.

“So my thoughts were roaming because I packaged his sports bag in the morning,” said Demier.

‘Dark Hour’

Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf said in a statement on Tuesday that he had received news of the shooting with “depression and frightening”.

The Royal Court announced on Wednesday that the flags during the day “Half of the royal palaces flown to the mast”. The government announced a similar action for its offices and parliament.

European Commission President Ursola Van Dare Leene described the shooting as “really terrifying”.

“There is no such place of violence and terrorism in our societies,” he said in a post on X.

Although such firing is rare, Swedish schools have been subjected to Swedish schools in recent years.

In March 2022, an 18 -year -old student fired two teachers with a knife at a secondary school in the southern city of Malmo.

Two months ago, a 16 -year -old boy was arrested after injuring another student and teachers when he had a knife in a school in Cristinatad, a small town.

In October 2015, an ethnic attack on a school in the western town of Troolhatton killed three people who were killed by a sword -powered attacker later by police.
