About 10 killed in shooting at adult education centre, says Swedish police

Orebro (Sweden): Swedish police said that about 10 people were killed during a shooting Tuesday at an adult education centre.

The school, called Campus Risbergska, serves students who are over age 20, according to its website. Primary and upper secondary school courses are offered, as well as Swedish classes for immigrants, vocational training and programs for people with intellectual disabilities.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether the gunman was among the dead. He was believed to be among those hospitalised. Police said that there were no suspected connections to terrorism at this point. Police didn’t immediately know how many people were wounded.
