The victims of Sweden’s worst mass shooting were seven women and three men aged between 28 and 68, police said on Friday after completing the identification process.
All of the victims lived in Orebro, but so far authorities have declined to share their identities or any other details about them.
They were killed at an adult education center in the city of Orebro on Tuesday, about 125 miles (200km) from Stockholm, in an attack that has sent shockwaves through Sweden.
Police also confirmed on Friday that the suspected gunman was a 35-year-old man from the area. He has been named widely in Swedish media as Rickard Andersson.
Anna Bergkvist, the head of the police investigation, said that the suspect had killed himself inside the school.
Police have confirmed that the suspect owned four rifles legally, three of which were found inside the school after the attack alongside 10 empty magazines.
Sweden’s coalition government on Friday announced plans to strengthen the country’s laws, making it harder to purchase guns and restricting certain types of rifles.
The gunman’s motive remains unknown. Video filmed inside the building during the attack and published by Swedish media appeared to record someone using anti-immigrant sentiments, but the footage has not been confirmed as accurate by the authorities.
Prime Minister Kristersson, on a visit to Latvia, told reporters the government had to “ensure that only the right people have guns in Sweden”.
