Police first received reports of a shooting taking place in Orebro, a city 200km (124 miles) west of Stockholm, at 12:33 local time (11:44 GMT) on Tuesday.

The shooting was at Campus Risbergska – a type of school for adults known as Komvux in Swedish, which is primarily for people who did not finish primary or secondary education. There are other schools also on the campus.

Teachers have described hearing shots ring out, leading to them fleeing classrooms or barricading themselves inside.

Maria Pegado told Reuters she took all of her 15 students out into the hallway and they started running. “I saw people dragging injured out, first one, then another. I realised it was very serious,” she said.

Another teacher, Lena Warenmark, told public broadcaster SVT she was in her study when she heard gunshots: “There were a few shots first in short succession, a short pause and then a few more”.
