What do we know about the suspect?

On Tuesday afternoon, the weapon behind the worst mass shooting in Sweden was walking up and down through the corridors of the Elderly Risberg Education Center.

His footsteps could be heard outside Helen Verme’s classroom, a 35-year-old nursing student.

“We heard three shots, one after the other, and we panic. My teacher shouted,” Close the doors, lock them, and hide, “she says Sweden’s TV4 News.

Police have not officially named the attacker, but he was identified as Ricard Anderson, 35 years old, by Sweden SVT public television operator.

Sagittarius was among the Eleven people who have died During the attack in the central Swedish city of Orebro.

The local media paint a photo of a hermit who lived locally and legally owned a weapon.

Here’s what we know so far.

The suspect was unknown to the police and they believe he acted alone.

Employees said he had no links with bands and was thought to have acted “without any ideological motive.”

They also do not believe that the attack is motivated by terrorism.

“This is a changing situation. The information we gave earlier is still valid, but it may change later,” said local police chief Roberto Ayd Forest.

When the officers attended the scene they were “shot”, he added, but no one was injured.

Then the police found that the suspect dead – and d -n -Forrest said he seemed to have killed himself.

In an interview with the tabloid Aftonbladet, a relative of the suspect said he had not had much contact with the family in recent years and was unemployed.

“As a child, he was different but lively,” the relative said. “He did a good job at school. But in recent years they have been difficult for him.”

Another relative said the suspect, who was reported to have changed his surname eight years ago, was a “hermit” and may have had problems with mental health.

They said, “He had a friend before he spent a lot of time, but not now. He wants to be alone. He doesn’t like many people.”

Hours after the attack, highly armed officers attacked an apartment in Orebro, which are thought to have been registered with the man using drones and a ladder truck, according to Swedish radio.

The derivative found that he had no sentence to his name and had not announced income in the last few years.

According to Swedish radio, the ongoing police investigation automatically lists a firearm as a weapon used.

SVT suggested that it was a hunting weapon owned legally by suspects.

During the press conference on Wednesday, Forest failed to confirm details about the weapon or say whether one or more was used.

Police said 11 people were killed, including the suspected shooter.

Health authorities have said three women and two men are in a stable but critical condition after firearms operations. Another woman takes care of minor injuries.

By Wednesday morning, not all victims were identified.

Police say they use fingerprints, dental records and DNA to identify them – along with interviews with family members.

The school that has happened provides adult education for people over 20 years of age who have not completed elementary or secondary school, as well as Swedish immigrant classes.

Maria Pegado told Reuters that she had removed all her 15 students in the hallway and they began to run. “I saw people who dragged injuries first, then another. I realized it was very serious,” she said.

Two young residents who talked to the BBC said They were afraid of a racial element in the shootingGiven that many students were immigrants.

Another teacher, Lena Varenmark, said there were unusually few students on the day at the school, as many had come home after sitting on a national exam.

Police for the first time received firing reports, which is being held in Orebro, a city 200 km (124 miles) west of Stockholm, at 12:33 local time (11:33 GMT) on Tuesday.

The shooting was on the Campus Risberg – a type of adult school known as Komvux in Swedish, which is mainly for people who have not completed primary or secondary education. There are other schools in the campus.

Teachers have described hearing shots that lead to them to run from classrooms or barricades inside.

Police locked six schools and a restaurant in the area, and people were told to stay away or stay in their homes.

Social media footage also appeared to show the students hiding under the desks.

A video captured by a balcony also appeared to show the sound of shots fired in a quick sequence as people rushed far:

In the first few hours after the attack, there was a confusion about the number of people injury.

Despite reports in the victims, when police first gave an official briefing at 15:30 local time, they said that only five people had been injured.

The Swedish media continued to report that several people had died before police confirmed in an update at 18:00 local time that “about ten” had been killed.

Later that evening, it was revised to 11 dead, including the shooter.

The reason why it took so much time to give death is due to the size of the school premises, according to the local police chief, d -n -forrest.

Very rarely. Although they had previously had school firing in Sweden, they were not of this scale.

This is “the youngest mass shooting in the history of Sweden,” said Prime Minister Wolfe Krisison, as he urged people not to speculate on the motive.
