One of the victims of Sweden's deadliest mass shooting called his fiancee to say he loved her

Sweden Shooting - (Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.)

Despite his gunshot wounds, sustained Tuesday in Sweden's deadliest mass shooting, Salim Karim Iskef managed to video-call his fiancee to tell her he loved her one last time.

The 28-year-old asked Kareen Alia to look after his mother and herself before the call ended. There was no answer when she called back, and she later found out he'd died from his injuries. He was one of 10 people killed when a gunman opened fire at the adult education center in Orebro where Iskef was studying to become a nurse.
