The mass shooting in Orebro on Tuesday has been described by Sweden's prime minister as the worst in the country's history.

Five people have been shot at a school in Sweden as authorities warned the danger was not over while armed officers rushed to the scene. Armed police descended on the Risbergska School, an adult educational institute in the city of Örebro some 200 km (125 miles) west of Stockholm on Tuesday.

Sweden’s right-wing government said on Friday it would seek to tighten gun laws in the wake of the country’s deadliest mass shooting at an adult education center where the attacker appeared to have used several of his own licensed rifles.

Officials in Sweden have vowed to determine why a man killed 10 people, and apparently himself, in an unprecedented attack that's shaken their "society to its core."

The king and queen visited the scene of the tragic event that occurred on Tuesday and Swedish flags were flown at half-mast to honor the victims.

Swedish police say about 10 people have been killed in a shooting at a school for adults in the city of Orebro, including the suspected gunman.

Storyline: Residents have been mourning for the victims of a mass shooting that took place at noon on Tuesday at Risbergska Skolan, an education center mainly for adults in Orebro in central Sweden. Investigators in Sweden are looking into whether the devastating incident was a targeted attack,
