On Tuesday afternoon, the striker behind the worst Swedish mass shooting passed the corridors of the Risberg Adult Education Center.
His steps could be heard outside the classroom Hellen Werma, a 35-year-old sister student.

Police revealed several details of a suspicious killer, who was among eleven people who died In an attack in the central Swedish city of Orebbro.
But local media paints a picture of a hermit who lived locally and legally owned weapons.

What were the motives of the suspect?
The suspect was unknown to the police and believe that he was acting alone.
Officers said it had nothing to do with the gangs and it was considered to act “without any ideological motive.”
They also do not believe that the attack was motivated by terrorism.
“It’s a variable situation. The information we’ve given earlier still is still valid, but they can change later,” said local police chief Roberto Eid Forest.
When the police attended the scene, they were “shot,” he added, but none were injured.
Police then found that the suspect was dead – and Mr. Forest said he seemed to be killed.
What else do we know about the suspect?
In an interview with Tabton Afttonbladet, the suspect’s cousin says he has not had much contact with his family in recent years and has been unemployed.
“As a child he was different, but lively. He worked well at school. But in recent years it was difficult for him.”
Another cousin says that the man, who allegedly changed his last name, was “desert” eight years ago and may have had problems with mental health.
“He had a friend he spent a lot of time before, but not now. He wants to be alone. He seems to don’t like a lot of people.”
A few hours after the attack, hard -armed officers have carried out the turning of the apartment into Orebbro, believed to be registered for a man, using drones and trucks with scales, according to a Swedish radio.
Television has revealed that there is no belief about his name and has not declared revenue in the last few years.
What do we know about weapons?
According to Swedish radio, a police investigation states an automatic firearm that weapons are used.
Swedish television (SVT) suggests that it was a hunting weapon that is legally owned by the suspect.
During a press conference on Wednesday, Mr. Forest could not confirm any details of the weapon or say if one or more was used.
What do we know about victims?
Police said 11 people died, including a suspicious attacker.
Health authorities have announced that three women and two men are in a stable but critical state after surgery for wounds from firearms. Another woman received the care of minor injuries.
Not all victims have been identified from Wednesday morning.
Police said they use fingerprints, dental records and DNA to identify them – along with interviews with family members.
A school that happened in insured municipal education for adults, which explains the Swedish National Education Agency is for people over 20 years of age who have not finished elementary or high school.
Teacher Mrs. Warenmark said that there were unusual few students on the day because many went home on the day after passing the state exam.
The local municipality provided support at the Hagakirkan church, while the Orebbro mosque held its doors open on Tuesday night to support the community members.
How did the attack take place?
Police first received reports on the shooting held in Orebbro, the town of 200 KM (124 miles) west of Stockholm, on Tuesday at 12:33 local time (11:33 GMT).
The shooting was at the Risberg Campus – a type of adult school known as Komvux in Sweden, which is primarily for people who have not completed primary or secondary education. There are other campus schools.
The teachers described how the shots sound, which led to escape in classrooms or barricades inside.
Maria Pegado told Reuters that she had taken all her 15 students into the hall and that they started running. “I saw people retreat, first and then another one. I realized it was very serious,” she said.
Another teacher, Lena Warenmark, told SVT public television television that she was in a studio when she heard the shooting: “There were several shots first in a short succession, a short break, and then a few more.”
Police locked six schools and a restaurant in the area, and people were told to stay away or stay in their homes.
Social networks seem to be shown to students who hide at tables.
There was also a video shot from the balcony showing the sound of shooting in a fast sequence, while people rushed:
In the first few hours after the attack, there was confusion about the number of people injured.
Despite the media reports on deaths, when police first gave official briefing at 3:30 pm local time, only five people were injured.
Swedish media continued to report that several people died, before police confirmed in an update at 18:00 local time that “about ten” died.
Later that night, this was revised to 11 dead, including Sagittarius.
The reason it took so much time to achieve the number of deaths was due to the size of school premises, said local police chief Mr. Forest.
How rare are the shooting at the Swedish school?
Very rarely. Although in Sweden before there were school shootings, they were not of this size.
It is “the worst mass shooting in Sweden’s history,” said Prime Minister Ulf Kristsson, while urging people not to speculate on the motive.
Last September was a school that shot south of Stockholm, when it was suspected that the 15-year-old was wounded by a classmate-or one of the attack with a Swedish problem of gang violence.
