Swedish police confirmed on February 4 that about 10 people were killed in a shooting at an educational center in central Sweden earlier in the day, including the suspected attacker.

It was the deadliest school attack in Swedish history. Speaking to reporters, Orebro Police Chief Roberto Eid Forest said "around 10 people were killed," but could not provide more specific information on the number of casualties "due to the large number of injured."

Police also did not release the number of people injured in the incident or information about the identities or ages of those killed, nor did they confirm whether they were students or teachers at Campus Risbergska High School.

Swedish police said they had no information about the suspect, although they confirmed he had no links to any gangs.
