“Today, we have witnessed brutal, deadly violence against completely innocent people,” Kristersson told reporters in Stockholm. “This is the worst mass shooting in Swedish history. Many questions remain unanswered, and I cannot provide those answers either. While Swedes read about such violence in other places, Str├╢mmer said that the country previously felt it wouldn’t happen there. Other tragedies in Swedish schools weren’t to the extent of Tuesday’s attack, he said, calling it “indescribably sad” for the community.
Police said that the death toll could rise. Eid Forest told reporters that the suspected gunman was among those killed. Police believe the perpetrator acted alone, and he wasn’t previously known to police, officials said. Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf praised police and the rescue and medical personnel who responded to the shooting, and issued words of comfort to the families of the victims.
