Sweden finds answers after the country’s deadliest shooting

Ismail Moradi, 16, usually brings his textbooks to school.

But on Wednesday, he clung to a bunch of red flowers to pay tribute to the worst mass shooting murder in Sweden ever.

He explained to us: “I was shocked and didn’t know if I wanted to go to school today after this happened.”

Ismail’s own primary school is adjacent to yesterday’s adult learning center.

Although police still have no motivation to conduct the attack, Kurdish Ismail said he was concerned about obvious racial factors in the shooting.

“In this school, this is a newcomer to Sweden. There are not that many Swedes. So, I think it’s a target for a special group of people.”

All day, locals steadily illuminate the candles and stare at the school location, which is still sealed.

The cold wind- hollow face reflects the impact of many Swedes in the past 24 hours.

The quiet of the scene fell when the Swedish king reached his own flowers. As the flag flies on the half-mast, it solemnly echoes national sentiment.

Collective grief becomes complicated by the lack of any explanation for the attack. Now, in a large-scale investigation, the police have not given up on anything.

An attempt to build a profile of “clean skin” – someone the police or security department didn’t know before – makes any investigation even more difficult.

But the scale of loss of life means that the public and politicians now hope there is a police answer now.

More than 100 professional officials were involved at the local, regional and national levels.

Unconfirmed reports in Swedish media said the gunman was a 35-year-old local man who legally owned a gun.

Reham Attala, 21, a law student, also believes the university was not accidental, rather than immigration – rather than other colleges reportedly near the suspect’s home.

“I’m sad and scared,” she told us at the shooting site. “This shouldn’t have happened.”

Reham explained that her father is Syrian and her mother is Palestinian, but because she is Sweden at home. She has lived in Orebro for the past 11 years.

She was shocked that the gunman attacked a school where Swedish (SFI) courses were known to be taught.

“The guy who got lost yesterday was learning Swedish, which made me think of my future, I even want to live here, should I have kids here? All of these questions.”

She sighed, not having to worry about this situation to be free to study and live on campus without worrying about it.
