10 Murdered in Swedish School Shooting

Feb 5, 2025 | Mass Public Shootings

Sweden has 10.6 million people, just 1/32.6th the population of the US. Since 2000, the US has had five mass public shootings in universities. Sweden on a per capita rate would have had 32.6 — 6.52 times the rate in the US.

Finland had the Kauhajoki Vocational College attack in November 2008 where 10 people were murdered by the student-shooter. With a population of 5.58 million, just 1/60.9th the population of the US, so that would be equivalent per capita rate of 60.93.

Here are examples and some of our research on mass public shootings.

Information on the Swedish massacre.

Students prayed under their desks and trapped teachers sent desperate texts to loved ones when a gunman opened fire at an adult education centre in Sweden, leaving 11 people dead.

Armed police exchanged shots with the suspect at the Risbergska School, an adult campus in the city of Orebro, some 125 miles west of Stockholm. 

The horrific attack – described by prime minister Ulf Kristersson as the worst mass shooting in Swedish history – unfolded on Tuesday after many students had gone home following a national exam. . . .

The school, called Campus Risbergska, serves students aged 20 and above, according to its website. Primary and upper secondary school courses are offered, as well as Swedish classes for immigrants, vocational training and programmes for people with intellectual disabilities . . . .

    Why aren’t the “authorities” are not releasing the murderer’s name? They know his age and the fact that, they claim, he is a “loner.” We know why they are not releasing his name. He is islamic. Europe bent the knee to multiculturalist globalism and, as such, has committed cultural and personal suicide.

    CPRC, try as you might to censor the truth (as you have done with my initial comment), but people already know the particular “religious” group responsible for these attacks in Sweden and other infiltrated regions of Europe. Take a good look at what is happening to the once-hidden lies and theivery the American people suffered at the hands of their own government. An outsider; Trump, speaks for the real people and is exposing all of the filth. Censorship ALWAYS loses.

    Islam is the religion of peace?

    OK, I know what the school provided, but who was the shooter? Let me guess, a non-white immigrant? Chops exchanged gunfire with him/her/it, did they hit whoever it was? If they were shooting at him/it they must know what he/it looked like, so tell us. Were any cops hurt? What were the ages of the wounded? Who the hell wrote this “news” piece?
