Sweden Mourns Worst Mass Killing in History as Police Investigate Orebro Shooting

Sweden is in mourning after its deadliest mass shooting on Tuesday, which claimed 10 lives at an adult education center in Orebro. Police indicated that the gunman, who is believed to have killed himself, was among the 11 victims. The tragedy unfolded at Campus Risbergska, a school for young adults, where residents, the royal family, and government officials gathered to pay their respects.

The gunman has not been officially identified, but Swedish media reports suggest he was a 35-year-old local man with a history of psychological issues. Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, alongside Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, visited the site, with the Prime Minister calling the attack “the worst mass shooting in Swedish history.”

Mourners left flowers, candles, and notes outside the school, while a memorial service was held at Orebro’s Nikolai Church. The country remains in shock as authorities continue their investigation into the tragic event.
