Salim Iskef , 29 , was among those murdered in Orebro on Tuesday in Sweden 's first school shooting and worst mass shooting in the country's history.

The priest described Iskef as kind and thoughtful, keen to help other members of the community.

In the days since the attack, there has been a striking lack of information from the authorities.

The absence of official information has contributed to a feeling of fear among Orebro 's immigrant communities.

Hundreds of people came to a memorial service for the victims of the shooting at a school in Orebro , Sweden on Thursday night .

Police say they believe the gunman acted alone and that he was a recluse and may have suffered from psychological issues.

There have been complaints about the police's handling of the case.

A Syrian Orthodox priest says he does not know what the police are thinking but trusts them.
