    Just horrifying.

    Police have said 11 people have been killed and six others taken to hospital after a campus shooting in the southern Swedish city of Örebro, in what Sweden’s prime minister has described as the worst mass shooting in the country’s history.

    The local police chief, Roberto Eid Forest, said investigating officers were still in the process of identifying victims but that they believed the “primary perpetrator”, not previously known to police, was among the dead.

    He said authorities had had “no prior warning signs” of the attack, which happened soon after 12.30pm local time on Tuesday at a campus housing an adult education centre and other learning facilities, and that it was believed the gunman acted alone.

    Just horrifying.

    I'd have said "my worst fear" a few months ago, and today it's probably still true, but I had to think about it. My worst realistic fear
