It is only three weeks since Gävle was affected by a mass shooting on the open street where six people were shot injured. On Saturday evening, a young man was shot dead and another was injured.
Are you satisfied with the police's work regarding this?
The police act very systematically, purposefully and long-term when it comes to combating the criminal networks. Now they are working hard to apprehend those who are guilty. We see in total that the police with new tools, working methods and resources have been able to halve the shootings in total, says Gunnar Strömmer.
He notes at the same time that the conflict level between the gangs is high.
The violence capital is large, as well as the ruthlessness and recklessness. It means that the risks of violence lie latent beneath the surface.
Despite the police having received new tools such as preventive wiretapping, security zones and much more, the gangs continue to shoot each other dead.
The halving of the number of shootings in three years is an expression that new tools and resources are effective, says Strömmer.
You do not think that the police in Gävle should have been able to prevent this shooting?
Every shooting is one shooting too many and the work being done every day is about preventing and preventing as much violence as possible. Exactly what happened in the specific case remains to be seen, now the police are sorting it out and will ensure that those who are guilty are apprehended and prosecuted. Then we will draw the conclusions from what comes out of it.
