Random victims in Örebro shooting

The mass shooting in Örebro, Sweden, which resulted in ten fatalities, appears to have been planned, as evidenced by ammunition purchases made in 2025. The selection of victims seems random, as indicated by Swedish police, based on the school’s approach and the movements and actions of the shooter. The victims vary in nationality, including Syrians and a Bosnian. The 35-year-old perpetrator, Rickard Andersson, was found dead at the scene. The motive remains unclear, and authorities are investigating whether he acted alone or with accomplices. A minute of silence for the victims was observed across Sweden, with flags flown at half-mast.
