Police in Sweden say "around 10" people have died following the shooting at Risbergska school, but they can't be more precise than that.

We're told that police in Sweden will soon deliver another update.

It'll be the second one they've given since the shooting at Risbergska school earlier today.

In the last one, we were told that five people had been injured in the shooting, one critically. Since then, authorities have said a sixth person is in hospital with minor injuries.

We'll bring you the latest from the news conference when it gets under way - stay with us.

More now from the Orebro regional authority, which says no children are among those who are currently at the Orebro University Hospital following the shooting.

The authority had previously said that the number of people hospitalised there had gone up to six.

The number of people hospitalised following the shooting has gone up to six, according to a statement from the Orebro regional authority.

Five of them have gunshot wounds and of those, four have undergone surgery - the fifth and sixth are considered to have minor injuries, the statement reads.

It adds that the Orebro University Hospital is offering more hospital beds or treatment if needed.

A teacher at the Risbergska school has described the moment she and her students escaped as shots were fired.

Maria Pegado tells the Reuters news agency that she threw open the door to her classroom just after lunch break and shouted to everyone to get out.

"I took all my 15 students out into the hallway and we started running," she says, adding:

"Then I heard two shots, but we made it out. We were close to the school entrance.

"I saw people dragging injured out, first one, then another. I realised it was very serious."

We're seeing footage on social media that was seemingly taken in Orebro as the shootings unfolded.

This still image, from a video uploaded earlier today, shows students hiding under desks. The caption says: "We don't know anything we have sat here for an hour Orebro".

As a reminder, police earlier said six schools and one restaurant were locked down while it was thought the attacker was still at large.

We have seen a number of reports from Swedish media saying several people have been killed in the school shooting.

But, a Swedish police spokesman says he cannot comment on whether there are any fatalities.

Following the press conference just around an hour ago, we do know that at least five people have been injured and taken to A&E.

Sweden's Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has just released a statement on the shooting at the school campus in Orebro, saying "it is a very painful day for all of Sweden".

"My thoughts are with those who have been affected and their relatives. My thoughts are also with all those whose normal school day was replaced with terror. Being confined to a classroom with fear for your own life is a nightmare that no one should have to experience, " he says in a post on X, external.

Kristersson says the government is in close contact with the police and is monitoring developments.

"The operation is still ongoing and it is important that the public follows information from the police. I urge people to allow the police to work without distraction so they can investigate what has happened and how these horrific crimes could take place."

This video filmed a little earlier shows police and multiple ambulances near the scene of the shooting.

There is plenty of information still coming through to us about the shooting in Orebro - let's quickly recap the key details from that news conference police held a few minutes ago:

• Five people who were shot inside a school in Orebro have been taken to A&E - four have had operations and one remains critically injured
• Swedish police believe one of those injured is the perpetrator who is male
• Health director Jonas Claesson says there may be more injuries; while police cannot yet say if anyone has been killed
• As emergency services responded to the shooting at 12:33 local time (11:33 GMT) six schools and one restaurant were initially locked down
• They have since started to be evacuated, but police are urging the public to stay away from the area

Forest is asked by reporters where exactly the shooting happened.

Initial information suggests it happened inside the school, he replies.

With that, the news conference ends.

Stay with us and we'll unpack everything we just heard.

Claesson says of those who have been injured, two have had operations and are now stable.

One other has also been operated on and is badly injured, he adds.

"We don't know about the other person."

There's a bit more from the Swedish police website now - separate to the news conference we've just been hearing from.

The latest update says officers are continuing to search the school where the shooting happened - but they still do not want members of the public to go near there.

In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, police say they held student and staff in school buildings as they couldn't be sure if there would be more attacks.

"Now we no longer believe that and have begun an evacuation," the update says.

Roberto Eid Forest from the police force is speaking again, saying that as it is an ongoing situation, the police cannot currently confirm if anyone is dead.

He also says that he has no information to give about the victims' ages and whether they were students, but reveals the suspect is a man.

He adds that the police also don't know where smoke visible from the scene originated from.

"Nothing is clear yet," he says.

While Swedish police speak to the media, we're seeing an update on their website.

It says officers "suspect one of the people in the hospital is the perpetrator".

No further information is given, but we'll let you know if we hear anything more on this.

Jonas Claesson steps up to represent local health services.

He says that five people have been taken to A&E.

Four of these have had operations, and one is critically injured. The person who has not had an operation has mild injuries.

There may be more injuries, he says.

Local police chief of Orebro Roberto Eid Forest is first to speak at the news conference and he says officers were first called at 12:33 local time (11:33 GMT) and a "large number of police officers" were sent.

He says officers faced smoke and found a number of people with bullet wounds - one of those injured could be the perpetrator.

Police have started an investigation and have begun evacuating nearby schools which are in lockdown, Forest says.

"We don't want members of the public to go there," he adds.

A news conference, conducted by Swedish police, is happening now.

It's in Swedish and we can't bring you live video coverage, but we'll bring you the key lines in our next few posts.

Stay tuned.

A teacher who says he's on the Risbergska campus is being quoted by local Swedish media.

Talking to online educational newspaper Vi Larare, Petter Kraftling says:

"I heard shots fired, so I've barricaded myself in and am waiting for news.

"We have an alarm on our security app and I'm communicating with my colleagues."

I studied in Orebro - it is a relatively small place in terms of population and it is the sixth largest city in Sweden.

I am in touch with my professors and they are absolutely shocked. The town, they say, has been deserted and people are not going out of their houses, staying put and staying in as they are afraid of what is going on at this very moment.

I have been monitoring the local broadcaster and they are saying the five injured people are being treated in a local hospital.

We have also been hearing the latest from the teachers who were in the school at the time.

It was at an adult school - an adult training centre - and one of the teachers there has been quoted saying she heard about ten shots. Five shots, then a pause, then five more shots.
