Rickard Andersson, 35, was identified by cops as the suspect in this deadly killing spree and said they believed the gunman turned his weapon on himself.
The terrifying video and audio – caught by a student in the toilet – was analysed by Swedish broadcaster TV4.
This horrifying clip reportedly caught someone shouting “You should leave Europe” before two shots were fired at the school – but it is not clear who said these words.
In the terrifying video, the shooter appeared to be getting closer to the locked cubicle as the gunshots became louder.
The student turned the video to record himself just as a shot is heard outside his hiding spot – making the student shudder with fear.
This video then caught the chilling sound of a bullet casing hitting the floor and alarmingly rolling away.
The clip comes as cops continue to probe the motive behind this shocking attack at the school that taught Swedish language classes for migrants.
Police investigating Andersson said they currently had no evidence of an ideological cause behind his potential killing spree.
Chilling reports have emerged that the gunman apparently changed into green military clothes in the school’s toilet before unleashing his killing spree.
A current police theory is that the suspect calmly walked through the school’s corridors taking his shots at people.
The gunman, however, is said to have made a mysterious decision to walk past certain people while choosing not to shoot them, according to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.
This student was not the only one to record gut-wrenching video from inside the school during the massacre.
Other students, recorded in classes, quietly sat on the floor in an attempt to save themselves from the horror around them – while a terrifying alarm went off behind them.
WORRYING PAST
Andersson reportedly grew up in Orebro with his parents and siblings in an affluent part of the city – before moving to nearby Storgatan after he finished school.

“As a child he was different but lively. He did well in school. But in recent years he has had a hard time. He is not working.”
Another relative said: “He’s really a loner. He used to have a friend he hung out with a lot, but not now. He wants to be by himself.
“He doesn’t seem to like people.”
The suspect didn’t spend time with his family at Christmas as “he wasn’t feeling well mentally”.

“They are licensed guns and can be linked to the suspected perpetrator.”
