One should think about not spreading rumors and speculations because it can hinder the police's work and also create mistrust, says the police's press spokesperson Gabriel Henning to TT.
"The police see that incorrect narratives are being spread on social media regarding the shooting in Örebro", the police write on their website at around 1 am on Wednesday.
"We therefore want to be clear that according to investigation data and intelligence data, there is currently no information suggesting that the perpetrator acted out of ideological motives", the statement continues.
It is important to let the investigation of this horrific crime take its course in order to bring full clarity to the sequence of events, says Gabriel Henning.
He also emphasizes that the police are monitoring digital environments and are in contact with social media platforms.
We are collaborating with digital platforms to identify and remove online content that could fuel threatening sentiments, says Gabriel Henning, and adds that he does not have details about which platforms are involved or what the collaboration looks like.
