The Swedish police said they were still investigating the motive behind the country’s deadliest mass shooting, as the local media started reporting the details about the gunman.

Nominated in the report as suspected, 35 -year -old local person record Anderson, 157 km to the west of Stockholm (98 mi) city, Orebo, was reported as an alumnus of the school in Orebo, where the attack took place on Tuesday.

The shooting killed eleven people, including the attackers, including at least six others.

The attack on Wednesday sent shockwaves through the nation with Raja Carl XVI Gustaf, stating: “All Sweden are mourning.”

The officials have not been released details about the dead and injured. Health officials said three women and two men were in a significant but stable position, while another woman was treated for minor injuries.

The police refused to confirm Anderson as a suspect nominee media reports. Orebro police said they have identified the suspect, but “his name will not be published yet due to investigation”.

He did not say how he died, but on Wednesday indicated that he killed himself after the exchange of fire with the police.

Police said they were still investigating why the gunman had chosen to attack the Risburgca Adult Educational Center. The Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported that the suspect was earlier nominated in school, but did not participate in classes since 2021.

Police said on Tuesday that the suspect had no clear connection for gangs and was not inspired by ideology.

They also do not believe that the attack was inspired by terrorism.

Local police chief Roberto Eid One told reporters on Wednesday, “We will return to what are the purposes there.”

The suspect had no previous guilty and attained his weapon legally, stated by the local media.

Sweden’s public broadcaster SVT suggested that it was a hunting weapon, while Swedish Radio stated that the police listed the weapon as an automatic gun.

Local police chief Mr. Van also defended the delay of officers and delayed releasing accurate information about the number of dead. He said that the size of the school premises delayed to ensure that there were not much victims.

Police said they were using fingers, dental records and DNAs to identify the victims – with interviews with family members.

In addition to providing Swedish language classes for immigrants, the Risburgska Center also provided adult education for people over 20 years, who did not complete primary or secondary school.

Earlier, Orebro residents participated in a candle -vigil outside the educational center, which remains closed. Flags in Orebro and government buildings, Parliament across the country and even half of the royal palaces were reduced to half the masts.

King Carl XVI Gustaf, who visited the campus with Queen Sylvia on Wednesday, told reporters: “All Sweden feel that it has experienced this painful event.”

“All the Swedas are thinking of those who have lost their loved ones,” the king told the BBC. He said that he is “sure the country will cross the tragedy … in a way or any other, but it will take time”.

Prime Minister Ulf Christson, who visited the site on Wednesday, described Tuesday’s attack as a dark day in Swedish history.

“Together, we should help the injured and their relatives tolerate the grief and weight of this day,” he said.
