Sweden bends more shooting with the armed details

The Swedish police said that they were still investigating the motivation behind the mass fire in the country, as the local media began reporting details of the gunman.

It was reported that the suspect, who was named in reports in the name of the 35 -year -old local man, Ricard Anderson, was a former school student in Oreibo, a city 157 km (98 miles) west of Stockholm, where the attack took place on Tuesday.

Eleven people died in the shooting, including the attacker, where at least six others were injured.

The attack sent a shock across the nation, as King Karl XVI said on Wednesday: “All Sweden Haddad.”

The authorities are still not yet issued details of the dead and wounded. Health officials said that three women and men are in critical but stable condition, while another woman was treated for minor injuries.

Police refused to confirm the media reports called Anderson as a suspect. Orbro police said they had identified the suspect but “they will not publish his name yet, because of the investigation.”

They did not say how he died, but on Wednesday indicated that he probably killed himself after exchanging fire with the police.

Police said they were still investigating the reason for the gunman’s choice to attack the Rispergska Educational Center for Adults. The Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported that the suspect had previously enrolled in the school but had not attended classes since 2021.

Police said on Tuesday that the suspect had no clear links to gangs and does not seem to be driven by an ideology.

They also do not believe that the attack was driven by terrorism.

“We will return to the motives there,” local police chief Roberto Eid Forrest told reporters on Wednesday.

The suspect had no previous convictions and obtained his weapon legally, the local media reported.

Sweden's public broadcaster SVT suggested that it was a hunting weapon, while the Swedish radio said that the police had listed the weapon as an automatic firearm.

Local police chief, Mr. Forest, also defended the delay of the authorities in issuing accurate information about the number of dead and wounded. He said that the size of school buildings has led to a delay in ensuring that there are no more victims.

Police said they were using fingerprints, dental records and DNA to determine the victims – along with interviews with family members.

In addition to providing Swedish language classes to immigrants, the Risbergska Center also provided adult education to people over the age of 20 years who did not finish primary or high school.

Earlier, Urebro residents attended the protest on candlesticks outside the educational center, which is still broken. The flags were also reduced about Orbro, in government buildings, parliament and royal palaces throughout the country to half of the mast.

“All Sweden feels that he suffered from this painful event,” King Karl XVI, who visited the campus on Wednesday with Queen Silvia, told reporters.

The king told the BBC: “All Swedes think about these people who lost their loved ones.” “It is sure that the country will overcome the tragedy … in one way or another, but it will take some time,” he said.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, who also visited the site on Wednesday, described the attack on Tuesday as a dark day in Swedish history.

“Together, we must help the injured and their relatives with sadness and weight on this day,” he said.
