Swedish Gunman Kills 10 at Adult Education Center That Serves Immigrants

HeadlineFeb 06, 2025

Vigils are being held around Sweden as more details emerge about Tuesday’s mass shooting at a continuing education school in the city of Örebro which killed 11 people, including the shooter, in the worst mass shooting in Swedish history. The suspect reportedly changed into military gear in a school bathroom before carrying out the attack. The targeted school served a large immigrant population and offered Swedish language classes. This is a nursing student and survivor of the shooting.

Hellen Werme: “There were two consecutive bangs, and then they increased in frequency. And then we understood that it was a shooting. … I thought that this was my last time, my last day, that I’m getting shot today, but I don’t know when.”
