Rickard Andersson, aged 35 has been identified as the shooter in the Sweden Örebro school massacre, a reclusive loner who turned the gun on himself.

Investigators had not uncovered a definitive motive behind the bloodshed by Thursday. Police said there were no warnings beforehand, and they believe the perpetrator acted alone. Authorities said there were no suspected connections to terrorism at this point.
