Swedish victim of a mass shooting told her fiancé that she loved her in the call before her death – National

Wounded and bleeding, Salim Karim Iskef managed to shoot his fiancé to tell her that he loved her for the last time before he died this week in what was Sweden the most deadly mass shooting,,

The 28-year-old asked Kareen Alia to look after his mother and himself before the call was over.

There was no answer when she called, and later learned that he had died of his wounds, one of the 10 people killed when the attacker opened fire on Tuesday at the Adult Education Center in Orebbro, where Iskef studied to become a nurse.

The couple recently bought a home and planned to get married this summer.

“He had all these dreams in his heart. Unfortunately, all these dreams are gone. Their light is extinguished,” said Father Jacob Kasselia, a priest of their local Orthodox Christian Church, for the Swedish Emiter of TV4.

Authorities said that the scorer, who had not yet been officially identified, was associated with the Adult Education Center, where he opened a fire with at least one weapon like a rifle and may have attended school earlier there.

The shooter was later found dead with three rifles, 10 empty magazines and a large amount of unused munycia near the body. It was not clear how he died, but officials said the police did not return the shooting.

Officers found at least five people, over 18 years of age, with serious wounds from firearms. The sixth person was treated for minor injuries.

Investigators did not discover the final motive behind the bloodshed. Police said there was no warning before, and they believe the perpetrator acted alone. Authorities have announced that there are no suspicious ties with terrorism at the moment.

The school, the Risberg Campus, offers elementary and secondary teaching for adults over 20 years of age and older, Swedish classes for immigrants, vocational training and programs for people with intellectual disabilities. It is located on the outskirts of Orebro, about 200 kilometers (125 miles) of Stockholm.

Iskef studied care there after serving as a healthcare professional during the Coid-19 pandemia. His family escaped from Syria between 2014 and 2015 because of the long -standing civil war.

“We have lived all our lives,” his sister Hanan Eskif told TV4. “We worked together and we studied together, we went to church together. All my life I have been with him, how should I live without him?”

Their family held a memorial service in their Orthodox Christian Church, although they did not get Iskef’s body by the end of Thursday.

“We keep looking through the window, thinking that he may be back and knock on the door and we will have to open it. We don’t sleep, we don’t eat, we don’t drink. Nothing, we just sit and watch,” Eskif Emiter said.

In Orebro, a city of 160,000 considered the seventh largest municipality in Sweden, on Thursday he brought more sadness, but still a little answer.

“There are two days of shock and sadness,” said John Johansson, president of the City Municipal Committee on Associated Press. “We are still asking why, we are still wondering what happened. The pouring of sadness and communion was huge.”

King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, as well as Prime Minister Ulf Kristsson, visited Orebro on Wednesday and attended memorials. The Swedish Football Federation has promised to start its future international matches with the moment of silence.

Plated elsewhere in the Scandinavian nation, where weapons violence in schools is very rare, it was struggled to process thoughts of mass violence in their country.

“” This is not a Swedish problem, that’s a problem we’ve seen all over the world, “Johansson said.

The Internet presence of the shooting has encouraged the friends of Orebro Petter Joman, a 60-year-old father whose son has previously attended school, to call him and send a message “How are you? Are you okay? I know you live close.”

The Government and the Swedish Democrats on Friday planned to move forward with the proposals for the Law on Weapons, including the restriction of an approach to a semi-automatic weapon such as the AR-15, reported the Swedish news agency TT.

Authorities said the scorer had permits for four weapons, three of which were found next to his body. The police seized the district. Officials said only one gun was a weapon like a rifle.

Currently, in order to legally own fire weapons in Sweden, the applicants must receive a permit for weapons and show that they will be used for an acceptable purpose, such as hunting or cracking of the goal, not abusing.

The applicants must also submit previously obtained hunting certificates or aiming of cracking. Hunting certificates require people to undergo training course, while target shooters must be certified as active and experienced club members.

In a country of approximately 10.5 million people, at the beginning of 2024. There were just over 660,000 registered weapons owners, according to the Swedish news agency TT. These registered owners had about 2 million rifles, objects considered to be fiery weapons and parts of weapons required by permission.

TT reported that 1.6 million of these rifles were registered for hunting and another 176,000 to shoot the goal.

All weapons must be stored in the safe wardrobes approved by the police. Applications for complete automatic weapons or weapons with one hand are allocated only for exceptional reasons, and such permits are generally limited.

Permissions are recalled if the weapons are modified to significantly differentiate from its original function.
