Both had canceled their respective speeches on Saturday to instead head to Fagersta. They knelt at the memorial for the 17-year-old who was killed and the other victims and laid down their bouquets of flowers.

Our thoughts go out to all the families who have been incredibly hard hit by this, says the Prime Minister, adding that thoughts also go back to the school attacks in Örebro last year and Trollhättan in 2015.

What should not happen has happened again, he notes.

Kristersson has also called all party leaders to Rosenbad in the evening for a joint review of the situation.

We are a nation that has woken up in grief, and in grief we must stand united, says Magdalena Andersson and thinks it was "natural" to come here with the Prime Minister.

Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer (M) was also present, as was Acko Ankarberg Johansson, Governor of Västmanland.
