Swedish police warn of online misinformation after mass school shooting

Police have not publicly confirmed the age and profile of the attacker, who killed at least 11 people and wounded others before apparently turning his hunting rifle on himself in Tuesday's shooting at an adult education centre in Orebro, 200 km (125 miles) west of Stockholm.

They said the suspect, who died at the scene, was not known to them prior to the event and had never been convicted of any crime. They also said he had no gang connection and was believed to have acted alone.

Police said nothing so far pointed to an ideological motive behind the attack, in which the suspect fired at police when they arrived at the school. They said they later found him dead.
