“Around 10” people have been killed at a school in Sweden in what the country’s prime minister said was the “worst mass shooting in Swedish history”.

Swedish police surrounded an educational institution in Örebro, 200km west of Stockholm in the centre of the country, on Tuesday afternoon.

The shooting occurred at 12.30pm local time (10.30pm AEST) at Campus Risbergska, a school for young adults, in the south of the city of 150,000 people.

Local police have said the reason they cannot be more specific on the number of people killed in the massacre was because “the damage is so great”.

No children are among those injured or killed, authorities have said. The suspected perpetrator is believed to be among the dead.

Risbergska School contains a number of schools within it. The incident happened at a komvux, a school for people who did not finish either primary or high school. It is primarily attended by adults but younger people can also be enrolled.

Social media posts from the scene have shown students cowering under tables as alarms in classrooms go off.

Police chief Roberto Eid Forest said the incident was “horrible,” “exceptional” and a “nightmare”.

The King of Sweden has said it was a “dark day” for the nation.

Police have said that the suspected shooter was around 35 years old and an automatic weapon was used in the massacre.

The suspect is also believed to have carried some form of equipment to create smoke inside the school, Orebro police chief Roberto Eid Forest said.

The man was unknown to police and was not thought to be in any gangs.

Swedish television channel TV4 reported police had raided the suspect’s home in Orebro late on Tuesday afternoon.

A video filmed from a balcony appears to show the moment a number of gunshots were fired as people moved away.
