It's 24 hours after the worst mass shooting in Sweden's history, and we still aren't absolutely sure how many people died, how many were wounded, who the shooter was, and what his motive may have been.

The police also say that this information may change.
“At the moment, the police believe that the perpetrator was acting alone, but we cannot rule out more perpetrators connected to the incident,” police said Tuesday.

The attacker is still a mystery.

"As a child he was different but lively. He did well at school.

Red flag. Normal folks don’t change their names often.
Changed from Rickard to Rachel is my guess.

This is a “man bites dog” story.
The shooter was white male Swede and the school was an “adult education center” specializing in teaching Swedish language skills to immigrants.
