Mass shooting in Sweden kills 11 at adult education center

On February 4, a mass shooting at an adult education center in Orebro, Sweden, resulted in the deaths of 11 people, marking the deadliest shooting incident in the country's history. The gunman is believed to be among the deceased, and the motive for the attack remains unclear. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson expressed profound sorrow over the tragedy, emphasizing that the event has shaken the nation to its core. The Risbergska School, where the shooting occurred, serves many immigrants seeking to improve their education and job prospects. This incident has raised concerns about gun violence in Sweden, which has seen a troubling rise in shootings linked to gang activity, despite fatal school shootings being rare. European officials, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, have expressed solidarity with the victims and condemned the violence.
