Sweden experienced its worst mass shooting in history at an adult education center near Stockholm. The gunman, who was among the 11 dead, attacked students and staff, leaving at least five seriously wounded. The motive behind the shooting was not immediately known, leaving the Scandinavian nation in shock over the level of violence. Three women and two men underwent surgery for gunshot wounds, while another woman was treated for minor injuries. The victims, all over 18, were in serious but stable condition, with two in intensive care. The school, Campus Risbergska, offers various educational programs for adults, immigrants, and individuals with disabilities.
Authorities, including the King and Prime Minister, expressed condolences and ordered flags to be flown at half-staff. Soccer teams also paid tribute to the victims. The shooting occurred after a national exam, with students and staff evacuating or seeking shelter. Police discovered the gunman dead at the scene and indicated that the shooter may have acted alone. Investigators are working to identify the deceased and determine the motive. The suspect’s home was raided, although details of the search are unclear. Authorities cautioned against spreading false information on social media and urged the public not to speculate until more details emerge. While mass shootings are rare in Sweden, other violent incidents, such as stabbings, have occurred in recent years.
