Niclas Hallgren, the deputy regional police chief for Bergslagen, told SVT: “Most of the victims in the school shooting had a foreign background. Ethnicity is a circumstance that the police have taken into account since early in the investigation when assessing a possible motive.” He added: “It is too early to say that there is a specific reason behind the act.”

There was also an unknown voice yelling racist hate speech during the shooting.

There is still no proof of a motive yet, though, so it is still too early to make predictions on the motive or start rumors.

source on this? swedish papers always wait to print details until police have confirmed them.

It was originally published by TV4, but it is not solid evidence. I believe Omni has also shared reporting on it as well. "Ni ska bort från Europa" is the phrase that may have been said by an unknown person.
