Around 10 people lost their lives in a tragic shooting incident at an adult education center in Orebro , Sweden , on Tuesday. Swedish police confirmed the fatalities, describing it as the deadliest attack in the country. The gunman, believed to be among the victims, reportedly acted alone, with no immediate indication of terrorism as a motive. A large-scale search operation is underway at the Risbergska school to ensure there are no other victims.
The authorities are working diligently to gather information and understand the circumstances surrounding the attack. The local police chief, Roberto Eid Forest, spoke to reporters, stating that while the death toll stands at approximately 10, the exact figure remains unclear due to the extensive nature of the crime scene. Police are actively conducting investigations, including profiling the perpetrator, interviewing witnesses, and meticulously searching the school. The shooting occurred at the Risbergska school, which caters to adults who did not complete their formal education or achieve the necessary grades for higher education. The campus also houses schools for children, adding to the gravity of the situation. Maria Pegado, a teacher at the school, shared her harrowing experience, recounting how she and her 15 students fled their classroom after hearing gunshots. Pegado witnessed injured individuals being dragged out of the school, realizing the severity of the attack. The Orebro University Hospital admitted five patients, with one sustaining minor injuries and four undergoing surgeries. Two of the patients who underwent surgery are reported to be stable, while one is facing serious injuries.Sweden has been grappling with a surge in shootings and bombings, largely attributed to a persistent gang crime problem. However, fatal attacks at schools remain relatively uncommon. According to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention, seven incidents of deadly violence at schools resulted in 10 fatalities between 2010 and 2022. One of the most prominent cases involved a 21-year-old masked assailant driven by racist motives who killed a teaching assistant and a boy in 2015, while injuring two others. The nation is now grappling with the aftermath of this horrific incident, seeking answers and working to prevent future tragedies
