A tragic incident occurred on February 4, 2025, at Campus Risbergska, an adult education centre in Örebro, Sweden.
A 35-year-old man opened fire, killing 10 people, including himself, and injuring 15 others.
The perpetrator, who had a firearms licence and no prior criminal convictions, is believed to have acted alone.
The violent attack, according to Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, is the worst mass shooting in Swedish history.
The motive behind the shooting is still under investigation by the Swedish Police Authority and the Swedish Security Service.
The incident has sent shockwaves across the country, with nearby schools being put on lockdown and police cordoning off the area.
The Örebro municipal government has set up a crisis centre to support those affected by the tragedy.
Meanwhile, in January, a woman in her 60s was stabbed to death with a knife at a supermarket in Norsborg, Botkyrka municipality.
The perpetrator, a 25-year-old man, attacked the woman, who was an employee at the store, at around 7:40 p.m. She later died at the hospital from the severe injuries she suffered.
The police seized a knife suspected to be the murder weapon and are investigating the motive behind the attack. The accused was arrested during the night, suspected of murder.
On October 22, 2015, a masked attacker, later identified as Anton Lundin Pettersson, entered the Kronan School in Trollhättan, Sweden, and stabbed four people, killing three, including two students and a teacher.
The attacker was motivated by racist and anti-immigrant sentiments, targeting students and staff with immigrant backgrounds.
