The survivors of the worst mass shootings by Sweden remembered on Wednesday that they tried to save the life of their comrades at a school for adults in Örebro, one day after a shooter killed 11 people about what the prime minister was “dark Day “described in the history of the country.
The police said there was no evidence that the suspect, who had Swedish media as Rickard Andersson, a 35-year-old unemployed hermit, had “ideological motifs”. Andersson also called a police source as a suspect.
A police spokesman refused to comment on the name of the suspect.
In the attack in the Risbergska Adult Education Education Education Center in Örebro, a city with more than 100,000 people about 200 kilometers west of Stockholm, at least 11 people were killed on Tuesday and a few more wounded. The police discovered Anderson’s body at the scene.
The police believe that the murderer they said was not known to them before.
“We will return to the motifs,” said local police chief Roberto Eid Forest on Wednesday before a press conference.
Five of the six wounded, who were treated in the hospital – four women and two men – had to operate for gunshot wounds and remained in a serious state, according to the regional authorities.
The police did not confirm the exact number of wounded in the attack.
Some students were in class, others ate lunch when the shooter shot at around 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
“A guy next to me was shot in the shoulder. He was bleeding a lot. When I looked behind me, I saw three people bleeding on the floor. Everyone was shocked. They said: ‘Go out! The student named Marwa told TV4.
“I took my friend’s scarf and tied him tightly around his shoulder so that he would not bleed so much.”
The 35 -year -old, bright new, a foster student, said after hearing shots, she hid under a bed to avoid the shooter.
“The teacher called us to close the door and climb onto the floor,” the mother of two children told Reuters. “I thought this was my last time my last day. I am being shot today.”
Werne said she was still unable to get in touch with five of her classmates, which were in another part of the school when the shootout took place.
“I never want to return there,” she said.
Many students in the Swedish school system for adults are immigrants who are looking for qualifications to help them find jobs in the Nordic country and at the same time learn Swedish.
The Risbergska School campus has around 2,700 students, of whom around 800 were enrolled in Swedish for immigrant courses, according to the information provided by the local authority.
It is said that students who are different from the age of 18 to 70 came from a number of backgrounds and nationalities.
“We all have to come together”
Flags flew on Halbmaster in Örebro as well as in the parliament and in the Royal Palace in Stockholm.
King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia attended school and attended a memorial service in the St. Nikolai Church in Central Örebro.
“A mourning process is difficult to make alone,” the king told reporters after lying white flowers at a memorial with candles near the school. “I think all of Sweden is of the opinion that it has experienced this traumatic event.”
Prime Minister Ulf Kristsson were accompanied to the royal couple on the trip to Örebro.
“February 4 will mark a dark day in Swedish history forever,” said Kristson in an explanation. “We are a country in grief and all have to come together.
“Together we have to help the injured and their relatives wear the grief and weight of this day.”
Candles and flowers were placed near the one -story school in the Haga Street, where police officers continued their investigations.
In the morning after the attack, Örebro was still shocked under the worst mass murder in Swedish history.
“It was completely unexpected that it could happen in Örebro,” Mayor John Johansson told SVT. “I understand that children, our youth, are very afraid today.
I am horrified by the tragic act of gun violence in a school in Örebro, Sweden. My thoughts are with the victims, their relatives and the entire community, which is exposed to unimaginable grief.
Canada stands with Sweden in this painful time.
The police said they had seen neither a general threat to schools nor presulates in the country or against adult schools, including Swedish classes for immigrants.
Sweden has to struggle with a wave of shootings and bombings caused by an endemic problem with the gang crime, in which the country with 10 million people in recent years the highest per capita force in the European Union is by far the highest Pro -head gun rate recorded.
However, fatal attacks in schools are rare.
According to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention, ten people were killed in seven fatal violence at schools between 2010 and 2022.
