Watch live from the scene of a deadly shooting at a school campus in Sweden as police continue to investigate.

The gunman who massacred 10 people at Risbergska School in Örebro has been identified as 35-year-old Rickard Andersson by Swedish media.

Andersson changed into green military clothing in a school toilet before carrying out the shooting then turned the gun on himself.
