Five people shot in Sweden’s school
The shooting appears to have targeted a centre attended by people who have not finished primary or secondary school-BBC

At least five people have been shot at a school in central Sweden.

The shooting happened in Örebro, 200km (124 miles) west of the capital, Stockholm, on Tuesday afternoon, police said.

According to police, "the danger is not over" and warned the public to stay away. The extent of the injuries is unclear - but police say no officers have been shot.

"This is currently seen as an attempted murder, arson and aggravated weapons offence," they said in a statement, BBC reported.

The shooting - which occurred just before 13:00 (12:00 GMT) - apparently targeted a Komvux, or adult education centre. 

These centres are attended primarily by people who have not finished primary or secondary school.

Police said students at nearby schools are being kept indoors "for security purposes".

"The news of an attack at Orebro is very serious," Justice Minister Gunnar Strommer told public broadcaster SVT.
