Swedish Gunman Kills 10 at Adult Education Center That Serves Immigrants
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vigils are being held around Sweden as more details emerge about
Tuesday's mass shooting at a continuing education school in the city of
Örebro which killed 11 people, including the shooter, in the worst mass
shooting in Swedish history. The suspect reportedly changed into
military gear in a school bathroom before carrying out the attack. The
targeted school served a large immigrant population and offered Swedish
language classes. This is a nursing student and survivor of the
shooting.

Hellen Werme: "There were two consecutive bangs, and then they increased
in frequency. And then we understood that it was a shooting. … I thought
that this was my last time, my last day, that I'm getting shot today,
but I don't know when."
