How Sweden’s worst mass shooting unfolded at a small town school - and why police have ‘no clear motive’ one week on - IN FOCUS: As Sweden falls silent for the victims of the Orebro killings their families are still waiting for answers,

Officials in Sweden have vowed to determine why a man killed 10 people, and apparently himself, in an unprecedented attack that's shaken their "society to its core."

Police were alerted to a shooting at a school in Sweden just after noon local time on Tuesday, Feb. 4, according to multiple outlets. At least five people have been confirmed shot and the public has been warned to avoid the area,

The king and queen visited the scene of the tragic event that occurred on Tuesday and Swedish flags were flown at half-mast to honor the victims.

Swedish police say about 10 people have been killed in a shooting at a school for adults in the city of Orebro, including the suspected gunman.

Sweden’s right-wing government said on Friday it would seek to tighten gun laws in the wake of the country’s deadliest mass shooting at an adult education center where the attacker appeared to have used several of his own licensed rifles.

All Swedish schools and pre-schools will have to make plans to keep unauthorised people off their premises, the government said on Wednesday, as the country tries to come to terms with the worst school shooting in its history last week.
