Sweden Reels from Deadliest Mass Shooting in Its History

A lone gunman killed 10 people at an adult education center in Orebro before taking his own life, leaving the nation in mourning.

The attack occurred at the Risbergska adult education center in Orebro, Sweden, which serves a diverse student body, including immigrants and vocational learners.
The gunman, identified as 35-year-old Rickard Andersson, was a reclusive, unemployed man with a legal license for firearms and no prior criminal record.
Police have not identified a motive, but they confirmed Andersson acted alone, changing into military clothing before the attack and later dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Five survivors remain hospitalized in serious but stable condition after undergoing surgery for gunshot wounds, while the community grapples with the trauma of the event.
Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf, Queen Silvia, and Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson visited the site and attended a memorial service as the nation mourns the victims.
