Many have reacted strongly to the act on Saturday, when a female ambulance nurse was killed in connection with an emergency call in Harmånger in Nordanstig.

Region Gävleborg had previously decided to hold a minute of silence at 12 o'clock on Wednesday. Now, the other regions have also announced that they will honor the deceased woman at the same time.

"That a person who works to save lives themselves becomes a victim of violence on duty is unimaginable – and completely unacceptable", says, for example, Anders Öberg, chairman of the regional board in Norrbotten, on the region's website.
