Sweden is experiencing painful moments, following the attack with shots at a public adult school in Erebru, about 200 kilometers west of Stockholm. So far, Swedish police estimate that at least ten people have lost their lives, probably including the perpetrator of the attack.

The motives of the perpetrator remain unknown. Police, however, are facing the incident as “an attempted murder, arson and armed attack”, adding that “although we do not yet know it for sure, we do not believe that the perpetrator has acted with terrorist motives.”

The alleged perpetrator of the attack was not known to the authorities, nor was he known whether he had gang relationships or organized crime. In addition, estimates show that he acted on his own, and that there is no risk to any associated future incident.

Uncertainty about the fate of the injured

As Reuters reported, the attack took place at the Risbergska Adult School, which is housed in an area along with other educational institutions, where children go.

Although ambulances, rescue services and police forces rushed immediately to the scene of the attack, there is no clear information on the criticality of the health status of all the injured. Five injured are currently hospitalized at the University Hospital in Erebru. A police spokeswoman told Expressen that some police officers were also on fire, but did not injure any of them.

Maria Peganto, 54, a teacher at the Educational Center, said that after lunchtime someone opened the door of her class and shouted that everyone had to go out immediately. “I got my 15 students, we went out on the runway and started running,” he told Reuters. “Then I heard two shots, but we managed to get out. We were near the school entrance. I saw people get out injured – at first one, after a second. And I realized that the situation was very serious. “

Unprecedented attack on Swedish data

In a post on X, the country’s Prime Minister, Ulvis Christrson, spoke of “a very painful day for all people in Sweden”, adding: “Being locked in a classroom, fearing for your life, is a nightmare that no one should experience. “

Swedish journalist Jugs Bengson told DW that “school shooting attacks are a highly unusual phenomenon in Sweden.” In the country, “other attacks have been recorded in schools, but most of the time these are knives or other weapons attacks. In this case we do not know exactly what it is, but it seems that we have to do with an unprecedented attack on Sweden. “

As Benksson still explains, people who want to complete their studies and immigrants who learn Swedish are still in the adult training centers.

“There have been many problems with shotguns and incidents of hatred against immigrants, and there are also criminal gangs associated with migration groups – probably the attack is related to something,” Benksson observes, but stresses that the attack may also be “crime. hate against immigrants “or” related to the activity of a gang “.
