BBC, Feb 4: Swedish police say "around 10" people have been killed in a shooting on a school campus in the central city of Orebro

Police believe the perpetrator is among the dead and that he acted alone, but a motive is not yet clear

The shooting happened at a school for adults, although there are children's schools on the site

Students and staff were kept inside buildings when police thought the attacker was still at large - they are now being evacuated

Police first warned people to stay away from the area at 13:20 local time (12:20 GMT)
