Sweden shooting latest: Some 10 killed in Swedish shooting - as police describe 'nightmare' scene and details of attacker emerge
"Some 10 people" have been killed in a shooting at an adult education centre in Sweden, police say. More details are emerging of the attack, which has been described as a "nightmare". Follow the latest.
Everything points towards a typical loner attack'
Following that news conference by police, we've just heard from Katrin Kantz, a crime reporter for national Swedish newspaper Expressen.She tells presenter Jonathan Samuels more about the attacker, who police say was not known to them prior to the shooting.
"He has no prior record," she says. "He's not known by the police in any way.
"There is some information that he might have had a licence for a gun, but we're not sure of that.
"He has no criminal record whatsoever. Everything points at a typical loner attack."

Sweden Shooting: At Least 10 Killed at Adult Education Center
The shooting took place at a center for adult education in the city of Orebro on Tuesday. The police said they believed that the shooter was among the wounded in the attack.
This is now the deadliest mass shooting in Swedish history.
Many times these lone attacks are injustice collectors who believe in nothing but their own 'superiority' but will latch on to an ideal that they could seriously care less about, just to make it look as if they stand for something; and in doing so will cause harm to other innocent people.
From what little we know so far, this attack reminds me of Anders Brevik.
Just my .02.

I wonder if it had anything to do with the exam itself, if he felt he failed and it was a trigger or the last straw. Being very few people left on campus after the test doesn’t feel fully premeditated to me.. jmo.
Praying for peace to all of the thousands of people affected by this heinous tragedy.

Why bring a gun along if it's not premeditated?

Precisely! Sweden is not the type of place where people randomly wander about with firearms.
We have really no idea about what's gone on yet. Lots more will come out in the next day or so. It definitely wasn't a spur of the moment thing, though.

I am over 60 and have never seen a real gun
11 dead might be more. Source:svd.se
6 people are at the hospital. Nothing specific on their condition but a warning of ”there might be more deaths” indicates it might be critical for some, regrettably.
Praying for the 6.

The Swedish police are armed, though. On the occasions I've been there I'm sure I've seen private security guards armed. In fact I know I have because they were carrying Sig pistols of some model or other and I've owned them previously.

I know the police are armed, my brother in law was one and also a hunter, never saw any weapons, guess he knew the law of saftey rules.
I don't live in Sweden but I live in a different european country, with a vastly different culture and different issues/problems than Sweden and our police doesn't walk around brandishing their guns, it's secured properly at the waist, we know the guns are there and we can see where they should go but they're not waving it around for everyone to see. Generally speaking, most if not all, european countries don't really have the gun culture, not even close to what the US has so these shootings don't happen much and everyone gets confused how someone even gets their hands on a gun in the first place because a regular person doesn't just own a gun.

"My cousin called her and she started crying. She fell to the ground because she was crying so much, she thought what she saw was so terrible. She only saw people lying on the floor, injured, and blood everywhere," Mokdad said.
The attacker has not been identified by authorities. Swedish media reported that he was an unemployed man aged around 35, who had a hunting license.
The school, called Campus Risbergska, offers primary and secondary educational classes for adults age 20 and older, Swedish-language classes for immigrants, vocational training and programs for people with intellectual disabilities. The school is on the outskirts of Orebro, which is about 200 kilometers (125 miles) west of Stockholm

There are some interviews of relatives. 35-years old, loner, Had hard times the Last few years, unemployed. Was very good as a dogsitter to relatives dog at some point. That is kind of sad in a weird way.

"Swedish mass shooter who killed ten:
Suspect was
'a loner with extreme social phobia
who always had a hood up and covered his face'.
Swedish outlet Expressen
shared an image of Rickard Andersson, 35,
who it reported is suspected of shooting ten people dead in a shocking attack at Risbergska School in Örebro's Västhaga district on Tuesday.
The shooter also legally changed his name eight years ago -
a move that took family members by surprise.
'We haven't had much contact with him in recent years.
As a child he was different but lively.
He did well in school',
one relative said.
TV4 claimed the shooter had no previous convictions and was not known to authorities.
He also possessed a firearms license."

The man suspected of carrying out the 'worst mass shooting' in Sweden's history has been pictured for the first time.
