Rickard Andersson turned up at Campus Risbergska , an institution of adult education he had attended between 2013 and 2021 , in the Swedish city of Örebro .

He was carrying some IKEA bags and a guitar case containing a pump-action shotgun, two semi-automatic rifles, ammunition, and a number of smoke bombs.

By the time it was all over, Andersson had murdered ten people and wounded six others before apparently shooting himself dead.

Swedish television has continued to interview immigrants in Örebro about their fear of more attacks.

The day after the shooting, a racial explanation of Andersson ’s atrocity received support from a report by Swedish television channel TV4 .

The station obtained an audio recording from a student who had locked himself into a school bathroom during the shooting.

But when the unedited recording was released, it transpired that the unidentified voice was not screaming during shooting, but later.
