Sweden plans to change gun laws after a big shooting

Sweden had a very bad shooting. A man shot and killed many people. The people who died were from the same area where the shooting happened. The man who did the shooting had guns that he was allowed to have. Now, the government in Sweden wants to make it harder for people to get guns. They want to check people more before they give them a gun. They also want to make it harder to get guns that can shoot many times very fast.

The government talks about gun safety

The leaders of Sweden say some guns are very dangerous. They think only a few people should have these guns. The Prime Minister of Sweden says they need to make sure that only good people can have guns. A group called the Sweden Democrats agrees with the government. They want to make the laws about guns stronger. They do not want people to have guns that can shoot many times without stopping. The police found many guns and empty things that hold bullets at the place where the shooting happened.

People are scared after the shooting

The shooting made many people very scared. Some of the people who died came from other countries. They had left their homes because of war. The police do not want to say who did the shooting while they are still looking into it. This makes some people feel more scared. A woman who was there when the shooting started says she heard the gun and was very scared. She wants to know why the man shot people at the school. In Sweden, most people who have guns use them for hunting. But sometimes, people use guns to hurt others. This shooting was the worst one that has happened in Sweden.
