News summary

A shooting at Risbergska School in Örebro, Sweden, has left at least five people injured, with the situation being treated as an attempted murder and aggravated weapons offense. The incident occurred around 1 PM local time, prompting a heavy police response and a lockdown of the area. Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots, with some indicating that the suspected shooter may have turned the weapon on themselves, although this has not been confirmed by authorities. Local hospitals have emptied their emergency rooms in preparation for incoming victims, and students were sheltered in nearby buildings during the chaos. Sweden's Justice Minister has called the reports of violence 'extremely serious' as the government maintains close contact with police. This incident highlights a troubling trend in Sweden, where gun violence, largely associated with gang activity, has been on the rise despite strict gun ownership laws.
