OREBRO, Sweden, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Sweden's right-wing government said on Friday it would seek to tighten gun laws in the wake of the country's deadliest mass shooting at an adult education centre where the attacker appeared to have used several of his own licensed rifles.

I am disappointed with Reuters, they are a big international news agency and they can't even go to Wikipedia and copy paste the proper spelling of Örebro?

Yeah, yeah, I know that the english language does not contain the Swedish letters å, ä and ö, but come on, at least use the proper spelling for these letters in english, ao, ae, and oe, in this case Örebro would be Oerebro in english.

It might be part of their guidelines to only use the English alphabet for the location at the start of the article

But "Oerebro" would still work...

Sure but it's harder to read and understand for most people, including me. The only time I remember seeing it is when my last gets mangled on documents when travelling by air.
