At least 10 people have been killed in a school shooting in central Sweden, with the perpetrator believed to be among the dead, police said Tuesday.
Swedish police said that "around 10" people have been killed in a shooting at the Campus Risbergska in Orebro, a city 200 kilometers (124 miles) west of Stockholm.
The police also noted that they believe that the perpetrator of the deadly attack is among the dead and that they do not expect further attacks.
They added that the perpetrator acted alone, but the motive of the attack is not yet clear.
The perpetrator has no prior record, so he was not known by the police, the Swedish daily Aftonbladet reported.
Roberto Eid Forest, head of the local police area in Orebro, said the police believe that imminent danger is over at the campus but they are continuing to search the school and are focusing on security work.
All of those killed were found inside the school building, which he described as a "big school with a lot of space to look through."
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson is expected to hold a news conference later Tuesday with the attendance of Justice Minister Gunnar Strommer.
The shooting took place at around 12.33 p.m. local time (1133GMT), targeting the adult education center that is located on a campus with other schools.
Earlier, Kristersson described the shooting as a "terrible act of violence," adding that it was a very painful day for Sweden.
My thoughts are also with all those whose regular school day was replaced with horror," he wrote on X.
