Linn could not get the thought of "blood everywhere" out of her head after her usually quiet town of Orebro on Tuesday became the scene of the worst mass shooting in Swedish history.

Here are witness accounts of the carnage that also seriously wounded at least five people and horrified the Scandinavian nation where gun violence at schools is very rare. Hellen Werme, 35, thought of her two children, ages two and three, as she heard the gunman pacing outside the classroom where she and five other people hid.

A mass shooting incident at the Risbergska school in Orebro, central Sweden, left at least five people wounded, with the suspected shooter reportedly among the injured. The shooting occurred around 12:30 p.m. local time, prompting an immediate police response.
