Sweden looks for answers after the most deadly shooting in the country

Ismail Moradi, 16, would usually take his textbooks to school.

But on Wednesday I was grabbing a lot of red flowers to knock down those killed in the worst massive shooting in Sweden.

“I was surprised and I didn’t know if I wanted to come to school today after what happened so close,” he explains.

Ismail’s own primary school is next to the adult learning center that was attacked yesterday.

Although the police have not yet given a reason for the attack, Ismail, which is Kurdo, says that there is a clear racial element for the shooting.

“In this school, it is only the newcomers to Sweden. There are not so many Swedish people. So, I think it was the objective of a special group of people.”

All day, there has been a constant procession of premises that illuminate candles and look towards the site of the school that remains sealed.

The vacant faces in the icy wind reflect the feeling of shock that has grabbed many Swedes in the last 24 hours.

A silence descended on the scene when the king of Sweden arrived to leave his own flowers. Solemnity echoes national mood when flags fly to half ase.

Collective pain is complicated by the lack of any explanation for the assault. Police, now in the midst of great investigation, have not given anything to that end.

Trying to build a profile of a “clean skin”, someone not previously known by the police or the security service, makes investigation difficult.

But the scale of life loss means that the public and politicians want police responses now.

More than 100 specialized officers are involved, at the local, regional and national level.

The reports not confirmed in the Swedish media say that the gunman was a 35 -year -old local man who legally owned a weapon.

Refama Attala, 21, is a law student also believes that it was not a coincidence that this university was chosen, popular among immigrants, instead of others who were reported that they were close to the suspect’s house.

“I am so sad and scared,” he tells us at the shooting site. “This should not have happened.”

Refam explains that his father is Syrian and his mother is Palestine, but for his Sweden he is home. She has lived in Obebro during the last 11 years.

She is alarmed that the gunmen attacked a school where it is known that Swedish immigrant courses (SFI) are taught.

“Those lost people were studying Swedish yesterday and this makes me think about my future and I will even live here, should I have children here? All these questions.”

People must be free to learn and live in peace on the campus without fear of this happening, sighing.
