OREBRO, Sweden (AP) — Five people were shot at an adult education center in Sweden on Tuesday, police said. It wasn't immediately clear if a suspect had been apprehended.

The extent of the victims' injuries wasn't immediately clear. The adult education center is about 200 kilometers (125 miles) west of Stockholm.

Students are being sheltered in nearby buildings. Other parts of the school were evacuated following the violence.
