Sweden is mourning its deadliest mass shooting following a tragic attack at the Risbergska school campus, where ten people lost their lives.
Investigators are exploring whether the incident was a targeted, hate-motivated attack. The shooter, a 35-year-old unemployed man, legally owned multiple firearms and took his own life at the scene.
Among the victims is Salim Iskef, a 29-year-old who fled war in Syria in 2015 seeking a better future in Sweden.
One of the victims, Camila, was a 52-year-old mother studying to become a nursing assistant. \"She was a 52-year-old mother, three children, one husband,\" shared Sofia, another friend.
Another victim's friend, Neevi, remembered, \"She was one of a kind, she always laughed at silly things.\"
The Risbergska school campus, a center for adult education where many immigrants attend Swedish language and vocational courses, has been transformed into a crime scene.
The attack has ignited a national debate on gun laws and the rise of extremism in Sweden, where far-right rhetoric has been on the rise. Some now fear that words have turned into violence.
At a vigil, mourners lit candles and laid flowers at a memorial, many holding Swedish flags, as the country searches for answers after this devastating event.
