Sweden’s Deadliest Shooting Leaves 10 Dead at Örebro Adult Education Center

Authorities confirm the identity of the shooter, Rickard Andersson, as investigations continue into his motives and the victims’ diverse backgrounds.

Rickard Andersson, a 35-year-old former student of Campus Risbergska in Örebro, was identified as the gunman behind Sweden's deadliest mass shooting, which claimed 10 lives.
The attack occurred on February 4, 2025, at a center for adult education in Örebro, a city of 130,000 residents, and ended with the shooter taking his own life.
The victims, seven women and three men aged 28 to 68, were primarily of foreign origin, with reports confirming casualties from Syria and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Authorities have yet to determine a clear motive for the attack, though Andersson was described as a socially isolated individual with psychological issues.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson expressed condolences for the victims, highlighting their aspirations and the vulnerability felt by immigrant communities in Sweden.
