Adult Education at Risbergska Remains Closed

Adult education at Risbergska school will be closed until further notice. This was announced by Örebro municipality at a press conference on Thursday. The main focus will be on the staff, says Nima Poushin, director of the upper secondary school and labour market administration.

According to Poushin, it's about supporting the staff rather than there being a threat against the school after last week's events.

We need to regroup. We're in an acute phase right now and not in an analysis phase, he says.

At the same time, the municipality announces that other activities will remain open.

11 people – including the suspected perpetrator – are dead after Tuesday's mass shooting, described as the worst in Swedish history. Six people are still being treated in hospital.

Katarina Arkehag, administrative director at the preschool and elementary school administration, has previously stated that the municipality's schools have had exercises in how staff should act in the event of ongoing deadly violence.

At the press conference, she praises the actions of staff and students in connection with the shooting.

Those who were involved have acted extremely professionally. We have practiced. People have really acted exactly as they should. Now we're entering a slightly different phase. There are many questions. There's a lot of anxiety, says Arkehag.

When teaching at Risbergska can resume remains to be seen, according to municipal director Peter Larsson.

When we start up, it should be in a way that makes you feel safe, it shouldn't be a crime scene you're returning to, he says to TT.
