Government offices, schools and workplaces fell silent in Sweden at midday on Tuesday in remembrance of the victims of a mass shooting at an adult education centre last week when a gunman killed 10 people before turning his weapon on himself.

The king and queen visited the scene of the tragic event that occurred on Tuesday and Swedish flags were flown at half-mast to honor the victims.

The shooting occurred at a center for adult education in the city of Orebro. The suspect is believed to be among the dead, officials said.

Five people have been shot at a school in Sweden as authorities warned the danger was not over while armed officers rushed to the scene. Armed police descended on the Risbergska School, an adult educational institute in the city of Örebro some 200 km (125 miles) west of Stockholm on Tuesday.

The gunman’s motive hadn’t been determined by early Wednesday as the Scandinavian nation — where gun violence at schools is very rare — reeled from an attack.

Sweden is reeling from the country's deadliest mass shooting this week as investigators continue to look into the gunman's motive.
