'Around 10' dead, including gunman, in Sweden's worst mass shooting

A mass shooting at an education centre in Örebro, Sweden, resulted in approximately 10 deaths, including the suspected gunman.
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson declared the incident the "worst mass shooting" in the country's history, highlighting its unprecedented scale.
Authorities are actively investigating the motive and circumstances, believing the gunman acted alone, with many details, including identities of the deceased, still unconfirmed.
The attack, which involved reports of gunfire and smoke, shocked Sweden, where school violence is rare despite ongoing issues with gang-related shootings, drawing widespread condemnation.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
