Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

In a tragic attack on Tuesday at Campus Risbergska in Orebro, gunman Rickard Andersson killed 10 people, including Syrian refugee Salim Iskef. Iskef, 29, video-called his fiancée, expressing love and care for her and his mother, unaware it was the last time they would hear from him. The shooting has reignited calls for stricter gun control laws in Sweden, highlighting gaps in current legislation, especially regarding licensed firearms. Initial investigations suggest Andersson acted alone without clear motives, bringing deep sorrow to the Syriac-speaking community in Sweden, which Iskef was a part of, and raising questions about public safety.
