One should think about not spreading rumors and speculations because it can complicate the police's work and it can 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 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 heinous 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 on which platforms are involved or what the collaboration looks like.
Tiktok has posted a message to those searching for "Örebro" in the app, urging users to "verify information from official sources".
Tiktok further tells TT that they do not have any specific comment on the incident in Örebro, but refer to their continuous work on removing content that violates the app's user terms.
