Ismail Moradi, 16, usually carried his school to school.
But on Wednesday, he was holding a group of red flowers to kill at the worst mass shooting in Sweden.
“I was shocked and did not know if I wanted to come to school today after what happened nearly,” he explains to us.
Ismail Elementary Private School is located next to the adult education center, which was targeted yesterday.
Although the police still did not give a motive for the attack, Ismail – a Kurdish – says he fears that there will be a clear racist element in the shooting.
“In this school, it is the only new Sweden. There are not many Swedish people. So, I think he was targeting a special group of people.”
Throughout the day, there was a fixed procession for the local population who shine candles and prohibited the location of the school that is still closed.
The vacant faces in the ice winds reflect the shock that attracted many Swedes during the past 24 hours.
I went down to the scene of the accident when the king of Sweden arrived to leave his own flowers. The echo of the national mood with the flags flying in the half of the mast.
Collective sadness is complicated due to the lack of an interpretation of the attack. Police, now in the midst of huge investigations, did not give anything to achieve this goal.
Trying to build a profile for “clean complexion” – an unknown person to police or security service – makes any achievement more difficult.
But the size of the loss in life means that the public and politicians want answers from the police now.
More than 100 specialized officers participate, at the local, regional and national levels.
Unconfirmed reports in the Swedish media say that the gunman was a 35 -year -old local man with a gun.
Reham Attala, 21, a student of law, believes that he was not chance by this college – common among immigrants – chosen, instead of others who were reported near the suspect's home.
“I am sad and very afraid,” I told us at the shooting site. “This should not happen.”
Rahham explains that her father is Syrian and her mother is Palestinian, but for Sweden at home. It has lived in Orbro over the past 11 years.
She is concerned that the gunmen attacked a school where it is known that the Swedish immigrant courses (SFI) is studying.
“These people who lost yesterday were studying the Swedes and this makes me think of my future and will I live here. Should I have children here? All these questions.”
People should be free to learn and live in peace on campus without fear of this, sighing.
