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.

Badly wounded, Salim Karim Iskef managed to video-call his fiancée to say he loved her one last time before he died in Sweden's deadliest mass shooting.

Sweden is set to tighten its gun laws, including a ban on certain semiautomatic weapons, after a mass shooting that left 11 people dead.

The shooter targeted a center that serves migrants seeking to integrate into a country that had already reversed its liberal migration policies.

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’s worst mass shooting has left at least 11 people dead, including the gunman, at an adult education center as officials warned that the death toll could rise.
