Swedish investigators say school shooter may have been a student
Swedish investigators said on Thursday that the suspect in the deadly mass shooting at an adult education centre may have been a student there.
There are indications of a connection between the alleged shooter, a man who has not yet been publicly identified, and Campus Risbergska, the school where 11 people were killed on Tuesday, including the suspect, said lead investigator Anna Bergqvist.
However, Bergqvist cautioned that investigators had yet to firmly establish the alleged gunman's association with the school in the city of Örebro, about 200 kilometres west of Stockholm.
Investigators believe the perpetrator acted alone and that it was not an act of terrorism, but they say the motive remains unclear. It is assumed he turned his gun on himself after killing the 10 people.
Six people were taken to hospital with injuries, some of them life-threatening.
Campus Risbergska is an educational facility where adults aged 20 and over can take both secondary school and grammar school courses, language courses and vocational training.

Analysis-Killings at European schools fan concern U.S. problem is spreading
By John Revill ZURICH (Reuters) -A spate of school killings in Western Europe has raised pressure on authorities to tackle a problem long seen as a largely U.S. phenomenon, increasing momentum for tougher gun and security laws and more policing of social media. While mass shootings remain far more common in the United States, four of the worst school shootings in Western Europe this century have occurred since 2023 and two - a massacre of 11 people in Austria and another in Sweden- were this year. This week's killings in the Austrian city of Graz sparked calls for tighter gun laws by political leaders, mirroring the response of the Swedish government after the 11 deaths at the Campus Risbergska school in Orebro in February. "Mass shootings, of which school shootings are a part, were overwhelmingly a U.S. problem in the past, but the balance is shifting," said Adam Lankford, a criminologist at the University of Alabama. "The number in Europe and elsewhere is increasing." Part of the rise stems from copycat attacks in Europe often inspired by notorious U.S. rampages such as the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, according to shooters' own comments or their internet search histories, Lankford said. "It's like an export from America. These attackers see other people do it and it has a snowball effect." According to research by Lankford and Jason Silva, shootings carried out by people eager for notoriety were twice as numerous in the United States as in the rest of the world between 2005 and 2010. By 2017-2022, the rest of the world had caught up. Their data also shows that Europe accounts for a bigger share of mass shootings than it used to. It should be easier for European politicians to act against mass shootings than the United States, due to the central role of guns in American culture and identity, Lankford said. The European Union has left gun laws and regulation of social media up to member states. Recent killings have seen a drive by several countries to apply tougher rules. In Sweden, the government agreed to tighten the vetting process for people applying for gun licences and to clamp down on some semi-automatic weapons following the Orebro killings. Incidents of violence and threatening behaviour in junior high and high schools rose over 150% between 2003 and 2023, according to a report by Sweden's Work Environment Authority. In Finland, where a 12-year-old shot dead a fellow pupil and badly wounded two others in 2024, schools practice barricading doors and hiding from shooters. The government has also proposed stricter punishments for carrying guns in public. Following a deadly December knife attack at a Zagreb primary school, Croatia's government tightened access to schools and mandated they must have security guards. Germany has gradually imposed tighter controls on gun ownership since school massacres in 2002 and 2009, and last year introduced a ban on switchblades and on carrying knives at public events following a series of knife attacks. RESISTANCE Tightening gun ownership was the only way politicians could show they were taking the issue seriously, said Dirk Baier, a criminologist at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences. "There will certainly be resistance to this, from hunters, sport shooters, or other lobby groups," he said. "However, I think the arguments for tightening the laws will outweigh the arguments against." Gun laws have also been a hot political topic in the Czech Republic since a student shot dead 14 people at the Charles University in Prague in December 2023. The country made it obligatory for gun sellers to report suspicious purchases and requires doctors to check whether people diagnosed with psychological problems hold gun permits. Britain is holding a public inquiry into an attack in Southport where three young girls were stabbed to death last year. UK drama "Adolescence", a story about a schoolboy accused of murder, explores concerns about toxic online culture. Meanwhile in France, President Emmanuel Macron this month pressed for EU regulation to ban social media for children under 15 following a fatal school stabbing. What motivated the Austrian school gunman is still under investigation. Police said he was socially withdrawn and passionate about online shooting games. Most such shootings are carried out by young men, and criminologist Lankford said there was a global phenomenon of perpetrators seeking notoriety that eluded them in real life, driven in part by social media. "Even if the shooters expect to die, some are excited about leaving behind a legacy." Austria has relatively liberal gun laws, and President Alexander Van der Bellen said after the attack the legislation deserved closer scrutiny. Broad support in Austria for tightening gun ownership laws looked probable, although a general ban on private weapons seems unlikely, said political scientist Peter Filzmaier.

What happened to the Madleen Gaza boat activists detained by Israel?
On June 9, Israeli forces seized the Madleen ship in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea as it attempted to break the suffocating siege on Gaza. The 12 activists on board – who belong to the Freedom Flotilla Coalition – were abducted in international waters and taken to Israel. One day after their capture, four of them were swiftly deported after waiving their right to see an Israeli judge and signing a deportation order that claimed they had 'illegally' entered Israel. Well-known Swedish climate and human rights activist, Greta Thunberg, was among those deported. The other eight refused to sign and remained in detention. On Thursday, six of them were deported, including Rima Hassan, a French-Palestinian member of the European Parliament. Another two French nationals remain in Israeli custody awaiting deportation on Friday, according to Adalah, a nonprofit legal association in Israel. This is everything you need to know about their treatment. On Tuesday, Israel deported Thunberg (Sweden), Sergio Toribio (Spain), Baptiste Andre (France) and Omar Faiad (France). Faiad is a reporter with Al Jazeera Mubasher. On Thursday, six more were deported, including Rima Hassan, a French-Palestinian member of the European Parliament, Mark van Rennes (Netherlands), Suayb Ordu (Turkiye), Yasemin Acar (Germany), Thiago Avila (Brazil) and Reva Viard (France), according to Adalah, cited by Turkish news agency Anadolu. French nationals Pascal Maurieras and Yanis Mhamdi remain in detention and are expected to be released on Friday, according to Adalah. Mhamdi is a journalist for The Blast, a French left-wing outlet. In Givon prison in Ramla, a city between West Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Two of the activists, Hassan and Avila, were placed in solitary confinement, according to Adalah. Hassan was taken there after first writing 'Free Palestine' on the prison walls. Adalah later reported that Avila began a hunger and water strike to protest Israel's blockade of Gaza, which has led to widespread starvation. Hassan was later returned to Givon, said Adalah. After Thursday's release of Hassan and Avila, along with four others from the Madleen, Adalah released a statement saying that 'volunteers were subjected to mistreatment, punitive measures and aggressive treatment, and two volunteers were held for some period of time in solitary confinement'. According to Luigi Daniele, a legal scholar at the University of Molise, Italy, Israel has no right to intercept a boat in international waters or to deny aid to starving civilians in Gaza. On the contrary, Israel has an international legal obligation as an occupying power to facilitate aid into Gaza. He told a local Italian outlet that Israel, above all, has no legal right to use force or permanent aggression on occupied Palestinian territory, including against the activists who were sailing to Gaza on the Madleen. Adalah has also argued that the activists were not trying to enter Israel illegally, but were sailing to Gaza, which is occupied Palestinian land. Israeli courts dismissed the legal arguments made by Madleen activists are supposed to serve 72 hours in the Israeli prison before being deported back to their home countries, according to Israeli law. This indicates all activists should have been released at some point on June 12, yet it is unclear if the remaining detainees – Maurieras and Mhamdi – will face additional charges that could keep them longer in prison. Some have, while others have been curiously silent. France's foreign minister, Jean-Noel Barrot, said earlier this week that he expected the four French activists who were on board the Madleen to return to France on Thursday or Friday. As of Thursday, two remained in detention. Brazil had also demanded the release of Brazilian activist, Avila. When the activists were first abducted from international waters, Brazilian diplomats reportedly visited Givon prison to assist with legal proceedings. In addition, Turkiye called Israel a 'terrorist state' after the Madleen was intercepted. Germany and the Netherlands, however, did not issue public statements to demand the release of their nationals. The Madleen's captain, Mark van Reenes, deported on Thursday, is a Dutch national who filmed himself just before Israel seized the ship. In the video, he called on his country to urgently demand his release. UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, also posted on X that 'the silence of [European Union] institutions over the unlawful detention and punitive conditions imposed on EU citizens including [Hassan] speaks volumes to the deep roots of Israelism in European institutional culture'.

Six more Madleen Gaza humanitarian activists deported from Israel
June 12 (UPI) -- Six more activists from the Freedom Flotilla Gaza humanitarian aid mission aboard the Madleen boat were deported from Israel Thursday. The Adalah civil rights center said six international activists Mark van Rennes of the Netherlands, Suyab Ordu of Turkey, Yasemin Acar of Germany, Thiago Avila of Brazil and Rva Viard and Rima Hassan both of France were being transported to Ben Guiron airport for deportation after being detained for 72 hours. Adalaha added that French nationals Pascal Maurieras and Yanis Mhamdi are the last remaining activists from the Madleen and are expected to be deported from Israel Friday. The Israeli Navy intercepted the Madleen while it was enroute to Gaza in international waters. Swedish activist Greta Thunberg was among the activists deported earlier this week. Eight of the activists challenged their detention while four waived their right to go before a judge and were deported immediately. Israel's Detention Review Tribunal found the naval blockade of Gaza is legal under Israeli law and therefore the activists were lawfully detained. The activists assert that their detention and deportations are violations of international law. According to the Adalah Center, the activists reported they were subjected to solitary confinement and their access to attorneys was restricted.
