Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - OREBRO — Mourners in the Swedish city of Örebro on Thursday paid tribute to the victims of the country's deadliest shooting in history that left 11 dead.

The shooter was connected to the adult education center where he opened fire with at least one rifle-like weapon, law enforcement said on Thursday.

Authorities said the gunman, who has not yet been officially identified, may have attended school there before Tuesday's violence on the school campus west of Stockholm. The shooter was later found dead with three guns, 10 empty magazines and a large amount of unused ammunition next to his body, officials told a news conference.

It was not clear how he died but officials said officers did not return his gunfire.

The school offers primary and secondary educational classes for adults age 20 and older, Swedish-language classes for immigrants, vocational training and programs for people with intellectual disabilities.

Some 130 officers arrived Tuesday after alarms summoned them to the school to find chaos across the campus. They described the scene as an “inferno” and believe the gunman turned his weapon toward them as they entered the building.

Investigators had not uncovered a definitive motive behind the bloodshed by Thursday. Police said there were no warnings beforehand, and they believe the perpetrator acted alone. Authorities said there were no suspected connections to terrorism at this point.

In Orebro, a town of 160,000 that's considered Sweden's seventh-largest municipality, Thursday brought more sadness but still few answers.

“It has been two days of shock and grief,” said John Johansson, chairman of the town's municipal board. "We are still asking questions of why, still wondering what has happened. The outpouring of grief and togetherness has been enormous.” — Euronews
