For Sweden, the tragedy in Örebro may serve as a turning point in its approach to gun control. In the US, however, the cycle of violence and legislative inaction is set to continue

A gunman opened fire at an adult education center in the Swedish city of Örebro on Tuesday, killing at least 10 people in what the country’s prime minister called the “worst mass shooting in Swedish history.

The king and queen visited the scene of the tragic event that occurred on Tuesday and Swedish flags were flown at half-mast to honor the victims.
