At Least 10 Are Killed at School Shooting in Sweden
New York Times ^ | February 4, 2025 | Christina Anderson and Lynsey Chutel

At least 10 people were killed and an unidentified number of others injured at a shooting at a center for adult education in central Sweden on Tuesday, the authorities said.

The police said they had started a “major operation” and locked down the campus in the city of Orebro, after shots were heard about 12:30 p.m. local time.

“This is an awful, exceptional incident — a nightmare,” said Roberto Eid Forest, head of the local police. “We do not think there is any terror motive behind this, but it is too early in the investigation to say.”

“We think we have the perpetrator, but we are not ruling out anything,” he added Tuesday evening.

At a news conference earlier in the day, the police said they believed that the shooter was among the wounded, but did not offer further details on a motive or the person’s identity. The shooter most likely acted alone and was not affiliated with a gang and was not known to the police, Mr. Forest said.

I asked Mr K (not the one on this forum) if he would like to place a wager on whether it was some nice moslems and he said he would not.

NYT’s loaded words headline: “School Shooting.”

Pretty broad definition of “school.”

The Swedish politicians allowed them in now what are the voters going to do about it? Sweden will end up like Germany, France, Denmark and England..............Muslims will never assimilate as the koran says kill the infidel.

It’s too early so I won’t suggest

1) Islam
2) African
3) LGBTQ+

Because it’s too early to know but it certainly happened (terrorism) in other places around the world 🌏

The “best” gun control on the planet won’t make guns go away. That’s a liberal wet dream. LOL!

Already in the excerpt, the usual blather...

-Not terrorism
-Not gang affiliated
-Lone wolf
-Not known to LEO

I don’t read the NYTimes but it surely could not be a Moslem /s

10 dead, but not terror related.

I hate when a guy just farts and so many die.

In Sweden just a few days back, the guy who burned a koran was shot to death by a mob of moslims; I wonder if there is a connection?
