Sweden's government says it will seek to tighten gun laws in the wake of the country's deadliest mass shooting at an adult education centre where the attacker appeared to have used several of his own licensed rifles.
Sweden 's government is seeking to tighten gun laws in the wake of the nation's deadliest mass shooting in history.All 10 victims from a school shooting in the Swedish city of Örebro have been identified by local police, as the country's government seeks to tighten its gun laws.
The Syrian embassy in Stockholm expressed condolences to the families of two Syrian victims, without providing further details "In light of the horrible shooting in Orebro earlier this week we believe that the right balance is to roll back the regulation and prohibit that kind of weapon," Sweden's Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer told Reuters.
AR-15 rifles have been permitted for hunting since 2023 and Mr Strömmer said about 3,500 have been licensed since then. Mr Strömmer said on Friday the government was looking at speeding up legislation already going through parliament that would make it easier for schools to install surveillance cameras.
