The National Police Commissioner visited Örebro on Wednesday to get a picture of the situation after Tuesday's mass shooting at Campus Risbergska. During her visit, she participated in situation updates and met with police officers who were involved in the initial stages of the mass shooting.
Petra Lundh says that "they have so far done a fantastic job" and that she is proud of the Swedish police.
We will, of course, evaluate this, and we are still working hard to get answers to all questions. I think we all have a lot of questions about what lies behind and how this could happen, and so on. They are working feverishly now to provide answers as soon as possible, says Lundh.
Not entirely sure
Many Swedish media outlets reported the suspected perpetrator's identity on Wednesday, but the police have not yet confirmed who is suspected of the crime.
I cannot comment on that, it's a matter of press ethics, but we will not confirm names and other details until we are absolutely sure. And that's why it's taking time. Some think we are slow with information and other things, but we must ensure that the information provided is correct, says Lundh.
Will review the handling
What can the police do to prevent school shootings?
We have, of course, thought about this and have done so long before. The discussion will continue, and we will naturally do everything we can. But as it looks now, it's a lone perpetrator who is not in our records, meaning we have no information about him other than that he has a gun license, says Lundh.
Is there reason for the police to review the handling of gun licenses?
We will, of course, go through all of this, what happened in this individual case. There are routines and guidelines for how we grant gun licenses. We have reason to carefully review this, answers Lundh.
