Orebro: The death toll from a shooting in a central Sweden school has risen to 11, with the perpetrator believed to be among the dead, police said on Wednesday. Authorities have yet to confirm the number of injured, with police warning that the death toll could rise, the SVT broadcaster reported.

According to Anadolu Agency, police spokesman Fredrik Svedemyr stated, "We do not have a complete picture at this time regarding the number of injured." He added that the situation remains uncertain for those receiving medical treatment, cautioning, "Since we also do not have any information about the injury situation for those being treated in hospital, there is unfortunately a risk that the number will not stop at eleven."

The shooting occurred at approximately 12.33 p.m. local time (1133GMT) on Tuesday, targeting the adult education center situated on a campus with other schools at the Campus Risbergska in Orebro, a city 200 kilometers (124 miles) west of Stockholm. Police noted that they believe the perpetrator is among the dead and do not expect further attacks. It was also confirmed that the attacker acted alone, though the motive for the attack remains unclear.

Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia visited the grounds of the school on Wednesday, where the Nordic country's worst mass shooting took place. Speaking to local media, the king and queen expressed their dismay at the incident. Queen Silvia remarked, "Where did the beautiful Sweden go? I really want to ask everyone to help build it up again."

As a gesture of solidarity and to honor the victims of the attack at the education center, the European and Swedish flags are being flown at half-staff in front of all parliament buildings until Thursday at 8 a.m. (0700GMT), as decided by European Parliament President Roberta Metsola.
