Sweden mourns after school massacre ÖREBRO — Sweden on Wednesday mourned the victims of its worst mass killing as police indicated that the gunman probably shot himself after killing ten people at an adult education center. Mourners left candles, flowers, and notes in front of the cordoned-off Campus Risbergska, a school for young adults in Orebro, as residents joined members of the royal family to pay their respects. Police have yet to give details about the gunman or his motives but they confirmed that eleven people, including the killer, died in Tuesday's shooting in the town west of Stockholm. Swedish media reports suggested the killer was a 35-year-old local man who had been living as a recluse and suffering from psychological problems. We are very shocked, King Carl XVI Gustaf told reporters after he and Queen Silvia laid flowers near the school. All of Sweden is mourning today. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, who also visited the site on Wednesday, described the massacre as the worst mass shooting in Swedish history. The royal couple, Kristersson, and several government ministers joined hundreds at a service at Orebro's Nikolai Church. The church observed a minute of silence before dignitaries and representatives from Muslim, Buddhist, and other faith groups lit candles. The suspect was dead when police reached him, said Forest. There is a lot to indicate that. The man had been enrolled at the school in the past but had not attended classes there since 2021, according to the Aftonbladet newspaper. At the time of the attack around midday local time on Tuesday, he was carrying three rifles and a knife, the paper said. One was a hunting rifle, and there were reports of another being a shotgun. The broadcaster noted that the education center also housed Swedish classes for immigrants. Police said not all the victims had been fully identified and have not disclosed any information about them. Health authorities said six people were being treated at Orebro's university hospital. A woman was treated for minor injuries, Orebro County authorities said, adding that all the wounded were over the age of 18.
