Report from Orebro
The victims of Sweden’s worst mass shooting were seven women and three men between 28 and 68, said the police on Friday after the identification process was completed.
Tuesday, Tuesday, approx. 125 miles (200 km) was killed from Stockholm at an adult education center in an attack that sent shock waves through Sweden.
All victims lived in Orebro, but so far the authorities have rejected to share their identity or other details about them.
The police also confirmed on Friday that the suspected weapon was a 35 -year -old man in the area. It was widely named Rickard Anderson in Swedish media.
Anna Bergkvist, a police investigation leader, told the BBC on Thursday that Andersson had killed herself at school.
The police confirmed that the suspect had legally had four rifles, three of which were found at school after the attack with 10 empty magazines.
The Swedish coalition government announced on Friday that it would strengthen the laws of the country, making it difficult to purchase weapons and restrictions on certain types of rifles.
In the absence of official confirmation of victims’ identity, information was created through their families and communities.
Among them was Salim Isker, a 29-year-old man who fled his mother and sister in 2015 after his father was murdered there.
Isker studied at the Risbergska Center, where the attack occurred – a school popular with Swedish and other subjects.
Isker’s fiancé, 24 -year -old Kareen Elia, attended the Orebro memorial service on Thursday night, along with his mother and other family.
Jacob Kasselia, a priest of the Syrian Orthodox Church, attended Iske and his family, told the BBC that he was “simply a good man.”
“He didn’t look for trouble. He just showed goodwill. He was a member of our community,” Kasselia said.
Bassam Al Sheleh, the 48-year-old baker and the Cook, as well as the father of the two were also called the victim of the attack by the Swedish media.
He is said to have studied at the Risbergska Center to improve English.
Bosnian and Herzegovina citizenship has been killed and another injured, said the Bosnian Foreign Ministry, referring to information shared by Orebro residents.
According to Friday’s social media entry, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristerson admitted that the event had caused fear among immigrant communities and urged people to “unite and stand behind what we consider to be our dear.”
“My thoughts are the consequences of relatives who have now received the worst call.
The motif of the weapon is unknown. During the attack, a video inside the building seemed that Swedish media had picked up someone who was using emigrants, but authorities did not confirm the footage.
Members of ORebro near -East immigrant communities have told the BBC that they felt vulnerable And they took further precautions in the days since the attack.
The better coalition in Sweden, which relies on supporting the far -right Swedish Democratic Party, said on Friday that he was seeking to increase control of weapons and ban certain types of weapons.
“There are certain types of weapons that are so dangerous that they should only be owned for civil purposes as an exception,” the government said in a statement.
Prime Minister Kristersson told reporters that the government had to “make sure that only the right people with weapons in Sweden should” make sure.
The Swedish Democrats claimed to agree with proposals to amend the law, including major restrictions on access to semi -automatic weapons.
“Orebro’s terrible act of violence raises a number of key questions about weapons legislation,” the party said in a statement.
The AR-15, a certain style of the semi-automatic rifle, which can carry huge and large magazines, has been distinguished by the government as an example of limited weapons.
According to the current Swedish weapons laws, people over the age of 18 who do not have a criminal record may apply for permission for a rifle, a handgun or a semi -automatic rifle.
The police must justify why they need a weapon. People over the age of 20 can ask for special dosing to own a completely automatic weapon.
According to the Swedish SVT broadcaster, about 580,000 Swedish weapons are licensed, consisting of about 10.5 million populations.
A Swiss study of 2017 found that about 2.3 million weapons were held by civilian populations in Sweden. It is about 23 weapons / 100 people, as opposed to 29 and 120/100 in the United States.
In Sweden, the theory and a practical test are needed to obtain a hunting license. About 280,000 Swedish has one.
Sweden has a relatively high level of weapon ownership and armed crime according to European standards, although most weapons are legally owned and can be used for hunting.
The armed crime is mainly associated with bands who also use bombs for each other.
Non -gang arms management is less common and will attack the nation’s first school shooting and the worst mass shooting on Tuesday. In 2015 and 2022, a total of four people were killed in two separate school stings.
