It's a pure coincidence that none of the police officers were hit, says Hedvig Lundblad when the trial at Blekinge District Court is on its last day, reports SVT Nyheter Blekinge. The man himself admits to shooting, but claims that the shots were not directed at the police officers. Instead, he states that he believed it was some people he had previously done business with who were outside his residence and that these people had previously threatened him, reports P4 Blekinge. The special task force struck against the man's residence on March 25. It was a planned operation in connection with an ongoing investigation. The man was wanted in his absence and was to be arrested. In connection with the incident, the man was injured by shots fired by the police.
