The shooting occurred inside Campus Risbergska, which is the center for municipal adult education in Örebro. The alarm came just after 12:30 pm on Tuesday.
Students were confined, i.e. forced to stay indoors, in the actual school as well as in nearby schools.
About two hours after the alarm, the police declared that the danger in the school was over. The confined people in the school were able to leave the schools late in the afternoon.
At least eleven people have been confirmed dead. The figure may rise according to the police. One of the dead is the shooter.
According to the police, the victims were shot by the perpetrator, who was later found dead inside the school. According to information to TT, the man shot himself.
In total, four women and two men, all over 18 years old, are being treated in hospital. All five who had gunshot wounds were initially critically injured. The sixth, a woman, is being treated for minor injuries.
The injured people have mainly been hit in their arms and legs, according to Jonas Claesson, health and medical care director at Region Örebro.
The work of identifying the dead is ongoing.
