+ 12:33: The police receive an alarm about a shooting at Campus Risbergska in Örebro.

+ 12:38: The police were on the scene five minutes after the alarm about the shooting.

+ 14:19: "Inside the school, it should no longer be ongoing, but the danger is not over", says Evelina Åström, press spokesperson for the police. TT reports at the same time that the perpetrator has taken his life according to information.

+ 15:30: The police call a press conference: Five people have been taken to hospital. At the same time, witness accounts of many dead reach the media. Pictures of what are said to be victims circulate on social media.

+ Around 15:50: The police and the national response team strike against what is believed to be the suspected perpetrator's residence in central Örebro.
