Source: Newsweek - By Barney Henderson

A shooting has been reported at a school in Sweden, with a large police presence at the scene.

At least five people are reported to have been shot at around 1pm local time at Riskbergska School in Orebro, 125 miles west of Stockholm.

Police spokesperson Lars Hedelin told local media there was an active, life-threatening situation. Police warned the public to stay away from the school.

"The public is urged to stay away from the Västhaga area, alternatively stay indoors in their homes... The operation concerns threats of deadly violence. The operation is still ongoing," a statement on Sweden's national police website said.

This is a story they're likely to cover (to the extent possible, as it seems like an ongoing situation).

Thanks for the heads up.

I hate to imagine we have influenced the world with our sinister side of Western culture once again, especially for this.
So sad.

'Around 10' people have been killed, police say

Police in Sweden say "around 10" people have died today, but that they can't be more precise than that.
