Around 10 people have been killed in a shooting at an education centre in central Sweden. The incident has been described as the worst mass shooting in Swedish history by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson. The perpetrator is believed to be among the dead and was not previously known to the authorities. The motive behind the attack remains unknown, and police have stated that there are no indications it was a terror attack.

Carl XVI Gustaf
1. Tonight we send our condolences to the families and friends of the deceased. Our thoughts at this time are also with the injured and their families, as well as others affected.
Gunnar Strommer
Moderates Party
1. We still don't know why this happened or what the motives could have been. We hope to have those answers.
Ulf Kristersson
Moderates Party
1. But there will come a time when we will know what happened, how it could happen and what motives may have been behind it.
2. This is the worst mass shooting in Swedish history.
3. I spoke to them today. There are many parents who will have the important task of explaining this to their children today. But we should not spread fear and terror now. The vast majority of schools are safe spaces.
4. It is a very painful day for all of Sweden. My thoughts are also with all those whose normal school day was replaced with terror. Being confined to a classroom with fear for your own life is a nightmare that no one should have to experience.
5. It is difficult to take in the magnitude of what has happened today.
Roberto Eid Forest
Swedish Security Service
1. We don't want members of the public to go there.
2. This is a terrible event. This is exceptional, a nightmare.
