The police can confirm that the perpetrator Rickard Andersson was already at Campus Risbergska at 10 am, reports P4 Örebro.

It was previously known that the perpetrator was seen at the travel center at 7:35 am, and 12 minutes later got off the bus at the school. Then there was a gap in time, according to the police, before he was again observed on the school grounds at 11:30.

The police have also thoroughly investigated Rickard Andersson's economy and found that he had money both to support himself and to acquire weapons, reports Nerikes Allehanda.

We have established that there are conditions where he had financial means, says the police's commanding officer Henrik Dahlström to NA.

Among other things, we have made inquiries linked to other countries to help us investigate and examine transactions, and then there are transactions linked to, among other things, cryptocurrency.

Two months after the incident, a comprehensive police investigation is still ongoing to map out the event. So far, around 1,000 interviews have been conducted with students and staff.

The first alarm call about the shooting on February 4 came at 12:33 pm. Ten people were killed and six people were injured in the mass shooting. A large number of shots were fired. The perpetrator Rickard Andersson took his own life during the incident.
