Lundh: The Police Need Help to Catch Lone Wolves

The entire society needs to help find individuals who risk committing mass murders and atrocities. The police cannot do it on their own, says National Police Commissioner Petra Lundh to Dagens Nyheter.

The police have a hard time doing that if we don't have any indications at all, she says to the newspaper.

The mass murderer Rickard Andersson in Örebro was not known to the police beforehand. The police's tools for finding that type of lone wolves are few.

If they don't show up with us, it's very difficult. Here, society needs a safety net and really catch these people, whether it's psychiatry, the school environment or relatives, says Petra Lundh to DN.

She mentions the secrecy rules in healthcare as an example of something that hinders the exchange of information between authorities.

At a press conference on Thursday, the police told more about the deed in Örebro, including that 70 shots were fired by the perpetrator.
