Swedish police reported on Tuesday that five people were shot in an attack at a school in Orebro, approximately 200 km west of Stockholm. The incident prompted a large-scale response from emergency services.
Authorities confirmed that five individuals had sustained gunshot wounds, though the extent of their injuries remains unclear. Police have classified the attack as attempted murder, arson, and an aggravated weapons offence.
The shooting occurred in a campus area housing multiple schools catering to both children and adults. As a precaution, students at the affected school, as well as nearby institutions, were kept indoors.
