Sweden School Shooter Named, Multiple Nationalities Among 10 Killed (Photo)

The person responsible for the Sweden school shooting has been identified as 35-year-old Rickard Andersson.

Ten people were killed at Risbergska school by a gunman Rickard Andersson, named by Swedish media, who afterwards turned the gun on himself. The suspected perpetrator was found dead, with multiple weapons and lots of ammunition, police said on Thursday. His home was raided by police who are investigating the motive.

Andersson, the reported suspect, is a 35-year-old unemployed recluse who had little contact with the outside world. He was reportedly previously enrolled in classes at the adult educational centre.

Investigators said on Thursday the victims are “different nationalities, different genders and different ages”, according to Expressen.

A Syrian refugee is the first named victim of the horror mass shooting in Sweden on Wednesday. Salim Iskef, 29, an Orthodox Christian who fled the war in Syria in 2015, was a “very kind person” who “just wanted to finish his studies”, his aunt told Alkompis.

A Bosnian citizen is also among the dead, the country’s foreign ministry announced on X. No victims have been officially named by Swedish police.

Forensic medical experts are currently working at identifying the bodies of those killed in Tuesday’s mass shooting.

Lars Bröms, leading operations to identify the deceased, said on Tuesday that he hoped the identities would be revealed within 48 hours.
Interviews will also be conducted with the relatives of missing people, Mr Bröms added.
