The president of the European Commission says her thoughts are with the victims of today's attack in Sweden.

Posting on X, Ursula von der Leyen said today's events were "truly horrifying". 

"Such violence and terror have no place in our societies—least of all in schools.

"We have today seen brutal, deadly violence against completely innocent people. My thoughts go to those affected and their families."

Left Party leader Nooshi Dadgostar also commented the incident in a post on X.

"My heart is with those affected, with teachers, students and emergency service personnel.

In this dark hour, we stand with the people of Sweden."

Police are still active at the site of the attack in Orebro and say they are working to identify the victims.

We heard earlier from local photographer Pavel Koubek, who was nearby the Risbergska adult education centre at the time of the attack.

He's just spoken with presenter Jonathan Samuels again, telling him the situation in Orebro is hard to grasp.

"I can't understand why someone would do that," he says.

Here are the latest images we've received from Orebro, where police are continuing their investigations into today's shooting at an adult education centre.

Police technicians can be seen walking in and out of the building carrying items away from the scene.

Ulf Kristersson says parents can feel safe sending their children to school in Sweden tomorrow.

"We must not spread further fear because the vast majority of schools are very safe places," he says.

"I trust that, and I hope others trust that."

The prime minister says that he has "very close relatives" whose children "were sheltering in place at their school today".

"Many, many parents have an important task ahead of them talking to their children," he adds.

More from Ulf Kristersson now, who thanks the students, teachers and staff at the Risbergska education centre "for all the courage" they showed today.

The prime minister also thanks the emergency services, whose work he calls "a matter of life and death".

"My thoughts, the thoughts of all of Sweden, are now with first and foremost with those who are the direct victims of this heinous act," he says.

"Your grief is our grief.

Seven school attacks have taken place since then, three of which resulted in fatalities.

On February 10th, the prosecutor confirmed that Andersson was the suspect.

According to Aftonbladet, Andersson, who recently changed his name from Jonas Simon, had struggled with psychiatric problems through much of his upbringing, had failed to complete school, been unemployed and had lived a largely socially isolated life in recent years.

Most, if not all, of the victims had foreign backgrounds, and police are investigating whether or not Andersson had a racist or xenophobic motive.

According to pupils at the school, a masked man opened fire inside Campus Risbergska, the main centre for adult education in the city of Örebro, around 200 kilometres west of Stockholm, at around 12.30pm on February 4th.

Much is still unknown.

However, at the time of writing they haven't yet been able to establish one.

Police announced on the evening of February 4th that they were confident the danger had passed.

It is believed the gunman acted on his own, but police are still trying to confirm whether or not he had accomplices.

"This is a dark day for Sweden and a dark day for Örebro.

My thoughts go to all the victims, their friends and families.

The college's head, Ingela Bäck Gustafsson, told public broadcaster SVT that she had been eating her lunch with colleagues when a large number of pupils ran up to them screaming that everyone needed to evacuate. Police remain on the scene and the investigation continues.

Police now say the danger has passed, and that the suspect, a man, is among the dead.
