Watch: Police give update on Sweden school shooting as new details about suspect emerge
Watch live as police in Sweden hold a press conference on Thursday (6 February) following a deadly shooting at a school campus in Örebro.
The gunman who massacred 10 people at the school campus has been identified as 35-year-old Rickard Andersson by Swedish media.
Details continue to emerge about Andersson, who reportedly changed into green military gear in a school toilet before carrying out the shooting at Risbergska School, then turning the gun on himself.
Relatives described Andersson to Aftonbladet as an unemployed recluse who lived a solitary life. He had reportedly been jobless for the past decade.
Andersson had received a licence for four hunting rifles, and documents from the Swedish National Service Agency show he had been told repeatedly he was not eligible for military service after he came of age, it added.
A police source confirmed the name to Reuters news agency.
