t-online A shooting at a school with several deaths has shocked Sweden. King Carl Gustaf has also spoken out after the incident. On Tuesday afternoon, shots were fired at an adult education school in Örebro, Sweden. Ten people are believed to have died. It is assumed that the suspected perpetrator is one of the dead, said Roberto Eid Forest, head of the local police, in a press conference. The motive is still unclear. The man was not previously known to the police. He had no connection to a gang and is believed to have acted alone. As things stand, it is not believed to be an act of terrorism. "Horrible atrocity" The whole country is shocked and the royals are also mourning. King Carl XVI Gustaf expressed his condolences a few hours after the incident. "It is with sadness and dismay that my family and I have received the news of the terrible atrocity in Örebro. We express our condolences to the relatives and friends of those who died," said a statement on the Swedish royals' official Instagram account. Their thoughts are "also with the injured and their families and other affected people at this moment," the king continued. He also thanked the police and rescue services as well as the hospital staff, also on behalf of his family, for saving lives on this "dark day." Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson wrote on X that it was a very painful day for all of Sweden. He was thinking of those affected and their relatives, as well as all those whose normal school day was replaced by horror. Kristersson added: "No one should have to experience the nightmare of sitting in a classroom and fearing for their life." Örebro is about 200 kilometers west of the Swedish capital Stockholm. The Risbergska Campus is a kind of educational centre where adults aged 20 and over can take secondary school, high school and language courses and undertake vocational training.
