A teacher at Campus Risbergska in Örebro claims that an evacuation alert in the security app used by the school led to two students being murdered during the school shooting on February 4. The teacher writes this in a report to the Work Environment Authority, according to P4 Örebro.

According to the report, the teacher and students began a so-called lockdown in a classroom. However, the app alerted them to evacuate. When the teacher and students tried to leave, they heard gunfire in the corridor, causing several to run back to the classroom.

”In retrospect, we learned that two of our students were shot dead at that moment,” the teacher writes in the report, according to Nerikes Allehanda.

According to NA, over 100 reports have been filed with the Work Environment Authority following the massacre at Campus Risbergska, where ten people were killed and six injured. The perpetrator, Rickard Andersson, took his own life during the act.
