Five people have been shot at a school in Örebro, central Sweden, police have confirmed.

The shooting occurred on Tuesday afternoon, approximately 200km (124 miles) west of Stockholm.

Authorities have not yet disclosed the severity of the victims’ injuries. The incident took place before 13:00 local time, prompting officials to urge residents to avoid the area.

In a statement, police classified the attack as attempted murder, arson, and an aggravated weapons offence.

The shooting reportedly took place at a Komvux, an adult education centre attended by persons who did not complete primary or secondary school.

As a precaution, students in nearby schools are being kept indoors for security reasons while police continue their investigation.

There is a deep chasm between existing and truly living. To exist is to wake up, work, eat, sleep, and repeat-a cycle that satisfies the flesh but starves the soul.
