A major operation is currently underway following a shooting incident at a school in Orebro city, Sweden. Authorities are responding to the scene, with multiple emergency services involved, but the conditions of the victims have not yet been clarified. The incident took place at an adult education center, and police are treating it as an attempted murder, arson, and aggravated weapons offense. While reports suggest several people were killed, police have not confirmed the details and continue to investigate. The operation is ongoing, though authorities no longer believe there are any further threats.

Swedish police confirmed that five people were shot at an adult education center in Orebro, Sweden, on Tuesday. The conditions of the victims were not immediately known.

Swedish media outlets, including Aftonbladet, SVT, and TV4, reported that several individuals had been killed in the shooting, but authorities declined to comment on those reports.

The incident occurred at a school for adults located in Orebro, a city approximately 200 kilometers (125 miles) west of Stockholm.

Police stated that the event was being treated as an attempted murder, arson, and aggravated weapons offense.

Local rescue services, ambulances, and police forces responded quickly to the scene. While the exact severity of the injuries sustained by the victims remained unclear, a spokesperson from the Orebro region mentioned that four patients were received, but their conditions were not disclosed. They were transferred to the emergency room at Orebro University Hospital.

Authorities later clarified that no police officers were injured in the attack. Some news outlets suggested that the shooter may have died from a self-inflicted injury.

In a subsequent press conference, police confirmed that one of the individuals who had been shot was suspected to be the attacker. However, they could not yet confirm whether anyone had been killed and indicated that the school premises were still being thoroughly searched.

The ongoing police operation led authorities to assure the public that no further attacks were expected.

Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer described the incident as "very serious" and confirmed that the government was in close contact with police, monitoring the situation closely.

At the time of the attack, students were kept indoors at the affected school and nearby educational facilities.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson expressed his shock, calling it "a very painful day for all of Sweden." He extended his thoughts to those whose normal school day had been interrupted by terror, emphasizing that no one should have to experience the fear of being confined in a classroom under such circumstances.

Swedish journalist Jesper Bengtsson reported to DW that 10 people had been injured, with four of them hospitalized, according to the police. Bengtsson pointed out that school shootings were rare in Sweden, as past incidents had typically involved knives or other weapons. He noted that this event seemed to be a significant shift in the country's history of school-related violence.

Bengtsson also explained that adult education centers, like the one targeted in the shooting, often serve students seeking to complete their education or migrants learning Swedish. Given the ongoing issues with shootings, hate crimes against migrants, and criminal gangs associated with migrant groups, he suggested that these factors might provide some insight into the potential motives for the attack. However, he cautioned that the attack could be both a hate crime against migrants or gang-related.
