Death Toll in Swedish School Shooting at 11 as Authorities Slow-Walk the Truth About the Incident

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.

We believe that 11 people, including the shooter, were killed at Campus Risbergska, a school for adults in the city of Örebro, about 125 miles from Stockholm. "At least" six people were seriously wounded, according to the police.

In this case, local media is filling in some of the blanks.

The police say that the attacker "acted alone." They say he was "unknown to the police." They say the attack was not based on ideology. They claim the attacker did not belong to a gang.

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 reason it took so long to give a death toll was due to the size of the school premises, according to local police chief Mr. Forest," reports the BBC. There were four other schools on the Risbergska campus with about 2,000 students. It's large, but they couldn't search all of it in 24 hours? 

The attacker is still a mystery.

BBC:

In an interview with the Aftonbladet tabloid, a relative of the suspect says he had not had much contact with family in recent years and was unemployed.

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

No verification that ‘Allahu Akbar’ was heard, yet.

The shooter was named Rickard Andersson, but a relative said he changed his name several years ago and authorities have not released his current name ....

The police say that the attacker "acted alone." They say he was "unknown to the police." They say the attack was not based on ideology.

Which means that it absolutely was.

[Fireone]

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

[Rickard Andersson]

This picture is associated with that name and this incident

[Uncle Miltie]

It’s a guy named “Mohammed”.

Taking bets here ...

[woodbutcher1963]

I taking bets that Richard changed his name to Rachel and took a walk on the wild side.

Name that song...

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

They could almost be cousins.

[OKSooner]

Uh... you just did?

[SaveFerris]

yikes!!!

[Drew68]

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.

[gundog]

What about “Yumping Yiminy!”

[DPMD]

The FBI has offered to help Sweden, saying it still doesn’t know the motive.

[_longranger81]

Perhaps she/it/they go by Mohammedina now...?

[Uncle Miltie]

One of us will be right.

[Noumenon]

“Authorities remain baffled...”

[silent_jonny]

Wow ...

I've seen dead eyes before, but those are "I'm going to hell" eyes.
