    The reuters article is rather sparse, CNN has a more in depth one.

    This is the worst mass shooting in Swedish history to date.

    Minister of State Ulf Kristersson held a press conference a few hours ago, and the King has issued a statement also.

    It’s honestly quite draining with the constantly escalating violence. Many here didn’t initially react or realize the magnitude when the initial news hit after lunch citing five people shot.

    Right now though one of our most prolific Swedish online forums (flashback) is down due to excessive traffic, and last I saw the news have blown up on mainstream platforms too.
