On 4 February 2025, a school shooting occurred at Campus Risbergska, an adult education center in Örebro, Sweden. The shooter was identified as 35-year-old Rickard Andersson, who killed ten people and wounded six others before committing suicide.<ref name=":3">{{harvnb|Police|2025a}}</ref><ref name=":5">{{harvnb|SVT|2025a}}</ref> As of May 2025, the Swedish Police Authority appeared to close their investigation, stating the perpetrator likely targeted Campus Risbergska because he was previously enrolled there for some time, and that his attack was primarily motivated by suicidal thoughts. The incident is the deadliest mass shooting in Swedish history,<ref>{{harvnb|Sveriges Radio|2025}}</ref> surpassing a 1994 spree shooting in Falun.
==Background== {{Main|Campus Risbergska}} Campus Risbergska is located in Örebro in central Sweden, and shares a campus with several other educational institutions.<ref name=":6" /> It occupies the premises of a former girls' school called Risbergska Gymnasium, which operated from 1863 to 2016, as well as a high school for students with disabilities. The present-day Campus Risbergska, which opened in 2017, is known as a komvux, a type of adult education centre in Sweden for people who have not completed primary or secondary school. At the time of the shooting, around 2,000 adult students were enrolled at the school.<ref>{{harvnb|Hallberg|Sirkka|2025}}</ref> Notably, the school offers Swedish for immigrants courses, meaning a number of students and staff members were immigrants.<ref>{{harvnb|Örebro|2023}}</ref>
School shootings are uncommon in Sweden. The previous deadliest occurred in Kungälv in 1961. In 2024 a student was shot in the head in the Trångsund school in Stockholm.<ref>{{cite news |last=BBC News |title='There was blood everywhere' - witnesses shocked after Sweden school shooting |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0lze6zjrwwo |access-date=2026-05-09 |work=BBC News |date=5 February 2025}}</ref>
==Shooting== The perpetrator, Rickard Andersson, travelled to Campus Risbergska and arrived by bus at 07:45 CET, five hours before perpetrating the attack.<ref>{{harvnb|Sundkvist|2025}}</ref> ''Aftonbladet'' reported that the weapons were transported into the school inside a guitar case and in two bags. After arriving at the school, Andersson walked to a lavatory and started preparing for the shooting. He would stay in the lavatory for more than an hour, during which he changed into "military-style attire"<ref>{{harvnb|France24|2025a}}</ref> consisting of a dark green T-shirt, black trousers, boots, a knife sheath, and several pouches containing ammunition. He also removed items from his bags and guitar case, prepared his weapons (a Browning BAR rifle, a Mossberg 590A1 shotgun, and a Ruger 10/22 rifle), and took a mixture of amphetamine and caffeine.<ref>{{harvnb|Bokvist|Ejdeholt|2025}}</ref>
At 12:31, Andersson exited the lavatory with his three guns, carrying the .30-06 Springfield Browning BAR in his hands. Upon exiting the lavatory, Andersson came across a student and shot the student at close range. He then went to an adjacent classroom and fired at the occupants inside as they tried running out the opposite door, fatally shooting six people and wounding a seventh.
After firing into the classroom, Andersson turned towards a corridor and fired at one of the exits. Around the same time, a person outside the school began filming him through the glass doors. Andersson then turned around and went to the school's main corridor, fatally shooting one person in a doorway leading to the corridor and wounding another in the corridor itself. Andersson moved north towards a classroom and fatally shot another person near an exit. He then set off two smoke grenades, which triggered the school's fire alarm, before proceeding to another corridor where he injured two people. Andersson then killed two more people near another exit — one in a classroom and one in the corridor — and set off a third smoke grenade before walking through the school building on an unknown path.
Two teachers at the school told ''Dagens Nyheter'' that they heard gunshots coming from a corridor, followed by silence for half an hour, and then more shooting.<ref name=":7">{{harvnb|France24|2025b}}</ref> Maria Pegado, a teacher at the school, recalled escaping with her 15 students after hearing gunfire.<ref name=":8">{{harvnb|Chatterjee|2025}}</ref> Ingela Bäck Gustafsson, the school's principal, was eating when students ran in and told everyone to evacuate; she and others took shelter in the staff room of Myrorna, a nearby second-hand store.<ref>{{harvnb|Sandén|Hansson|Mohammad|2025}}</ref> Lena Warenmark, another teacher at the school, said that fewer than usual students were in the building at the time of the shooting since many had gone home following a national exam.<ref name=":5" />
Law enforcement was called at around 12:33 and arrived six minutes later.<ref>{{harvnb|France24|2025c}}</ref> The shooting was still ongoing during this time, and continued while police officers searched the school building.<ref>{{harvnb|Israelsson|Friberg|2025}}</ref> At approximately 12:43, a squad of police officers were shot at by Andersson, who fired multiple rounds down the main corridor. None of the officers fired back at the gunman,<ref>{{harvnb|Hedlin|2025}}</ref><ref name=":3" /> who ran down the corridor from them before locking himself inside a classroom. While his exact actions after this point are mostly unknown, the investigation determined that at some point, Andersson separately fired two rounds — one from his shotgun and the other from his rifle — inside the classroom. He then sat against a wall and took out his knife to wound himself in the chest,<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://bakomkulisserna.info/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/forensisk-bilaga-1.pdf | title=Forensisk bilaga | language=sv | trans-title=Forensic appendix}}</ref> before finally shooting himself in the head with his Browning BAR. His body was found by officers at 13:30, nearly an hour after the shooting started.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":9">{{harvnb|Pettersson|Haq|2025}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|TT|2025a}}</ref>
Andersson was determined to have fired 73 shots in total, including his suicide shot. All but one of the shots were fired from his Browning BAR, with the only other shot coming from his Mossberg shotgun.<ref>{{harvnb|Expressen|2025a}}</ref> Andersson's third gun, the Ruger 10/22, was never used during the attack. All of his firearms were found near his body, along with ten empty magazines, 100 cartridges, and a large amount of unused ammunition.<ref name=":10">{{harvnb|Furtula|Grits|Dazio|2025a}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Anderberg|Malmgren|2025}}</ref>

He re-enrolled in the same course in 2019 but dropped out after two years, having failed to complete it.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":0" />
Apart from a few internships, Andersson appears to have never had a job.<ref name=":0" /> Between 2009 and 2015, he received a disability benefit and, until 2022, some other income support. From that date, he lived on funds which had been saved in his name since he was a child.<ref name=":0" /> Despite his limited income, he never incurred any debts and always paid his rent ahead of time.<ref name=":0" /> He was described as someone who disliked socialising and was bad at communicating.<ref name=":0" /><ref name="bbc-about-suspect" /> He seemingly had no friends, with the police being unable to find anyone outside of his family who he had regular contact with.<ref name=":0" /> Andersson appeared to have taken good care of himself and ate healthily. While he had no prior criminal record, the subsequent investigation into the shooting uncovered several cryptocurrency transactions on a website that exclusively sells narcotics.<ref name=":0" /> In a locked wooden chest in his apartment, police found a laptop, a passport, 2,200 kronor in cash, a bank card reader, a wallet, and a toiletry bag.<ref name=":0" />
In 2011, Andersson passed the necessary theory and practical tests to acquire a hunting certification, allowing him to obtain a firearms licence, which he used to buy four firearms (a Browning BAR (.30-06), a Ruger 10/22 (.22 LR), a Mossberg 590A1 (12-gauge) and a Winchester 1300 (12-gauge) and a gun safe.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.expressen.se/nyheter/sverige/rickard-anderssons-vapenlicenser-hagelgevar-och-kulgevar/|title=Here are Rickard Andersson's weapons: Shotgun and rifle|website=expressen.se|access-date=7 February 2025}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> It is unknown why he acquired these weapons; those around Andersson later described this as being out of character for him, as he had never expressed any prior interest in firearms and was never a member of a shooting or hunting club.<ref name=":0" /> Prior to the shooting, Andersson sold or attempted to sell his personal belongings (including the gun safe), researched how to clean firearms, bought ammunition and smoke grenades, and acquired the guitar case he would use to smuggle his weapons into the school.<ref name="Barrons">{{Cite news |date=February 11, 2025 |title=Sweden Campus Shooter Fired 'More Than 50 Shots': Police |url=https://www.barrons.com/news/sweden-campus-shooter-fired-more-than-50-shots-police-31d2f699 |access-date=February 11, 2025 |website=Barron's |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":4" /><ref name=":0" />

The police noted, however, that the perpetrator's phone and computer hard drives, which could have stored crucial information for the motive of the attack, were missing.<ref name=":4" />
The police's national offender profiling unit later summarised Andersson's motive:<ref name=":0" />
{{Blockquote|text=''The motive is assessed to be personally linked to a desire to commit suicide. In connection with this, Rickard Andersson chose to communicate his perceived frustration and take out his aggression on the surroundings at a place that held personal value for him. He planned for and acted in a way that shows a clear drive to kill as many people as possible during the act. This, together with the fact that he did not try to hide his identity, suggests that the act itself is a final, misguided communication to the outside world before ending his life.''}}
The police investigation showed that Andersson's expulsion from Campus Risbergska, which led to his student loans being cut off, could have been a trigger for him in seeking revenge on the school before committing suicide. One of the only hints of a motive that Andersson left behind was his old math book, which he had placed in the school bathroom where he was preparing for the attack. Speculation arose that this book was from the same course he had failed, and might be a hint as to why he chose the school as a target.

On 5 February, TV4 published a video clip shared by an individual who hid in one of the lavatories during the shooting. At one point in the video, the words "You need to leave Europe!" can supposedly be heard, followed by a gunshot.<ref name=":2" /> This, combined with the fact that most of the victims were non-white immigrants, fueled speculation that the attack was racially motivated. However, the interpretation of the video's audio has been criticised as being misleading by several audio professionals, who have not been able to reach the same conclusion.<ref>{{cite web |last= |first= |date=12 February 2025 |title=Tio erfarna ljudtekniker: TV4 måste förklara sig |url= https://kvartal.se/artiklar/tio-erfarna-ljudtekniker-tv4-maste-forklara-sig/ |website=Kvartal |access-date=16 February 2025 |trans-title=Ten experienced sound engineers:TV4 must explain itself}}</ref><ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6">{{harvnb|Chisholm|2025}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{harvnb|Bryant|2025}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{harvnb|TV4|2025}}</ref>

Prominent American businessman Elon Musk faced criticism for amplifying a misleading claim that European politicians and mainstream media remained silent about the tragedy, claiming that "no European politician" had mentioned the massacre. Before Musk deleted his post, it was seen 1.2 million times, and Community Notes had corrected his statements. This assertion was later debunked, as numerous European leaders, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, publicly condemned the attack, and major media outlets provided extensive coverage.<ref>{{cite news |date=6 February 2025 |title=Elon Musk slammed for sharing lies about the response to Sweden school shooting |url=https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/crime/elon-musk-lie-sweden-school-shooting-b2693378.html |access-date=23 February 2025}}</ref>
===Police response evaluation=== After the shooting, police officers who responded to the shooting completed after-action reviews, the results of which found that while the police response was largely successful, there were several issues regarding the conditions of law enforcement personnel on the scene. These included officers being provided insufficient food and water, additional protective equipment being unused due to them being the wrong size, a lack of training for some officers regarding active shooter situations, and the overloading of police communications due to the large number of officers who were using the same channel.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hagström |first=Per |date=2025-09-12 |title=Matbrist och trånga hjälmar vid Risbergska |url=https://polistidningen.se/2025/09/matbrist-och-tranga-hjalmar-vid-risbergska/ |access-date=2025-10-03 |website=Polistidningen |language=sv-SE}}</ref>
