Officials in Sweden have vowed to determine why a man killed 10 people, and apparently himself, in an unprecedented attack that's shaken their "society to its core."

Sweden’s right-wing government said on Friday it would seek to tighten gun laws in the wake of the country’s deadliest mass shooting at an adult education center where the attacker appeared to have used several of his own licensed rifles.

A Georgia Democratic lawmaker is pushing for stricter gun safety laws to stem a tide of violence like the mass shooting last September at a high school northeast of Atlanta.

Five people have been shot at a school in Sweden as authorities warned the danger was not over while armed officers rushed to the scene. Armed police descended on the Risbergska School, an adult educational institute in the city of Örebro some 200 km (125 miles) west of Stockholm on Tuesday.

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 leaders of the Syrian Orthodox Church in Örebro, southern Sweden, honored on Friday the two victims of Tuesday's shooting at an adult education school, as authorities have yet to officially identify them.
