"Some of the film material is used to create an understanding of the time between 07:47 and 11:30 on February 4 when the police did not have the complete picture of what the suspect did. The fact that those hours are crucial for us is about mapping out his time before the deed", says commanding officer Henrik Dahlström in a press release from the police.

It has now been a month since Rickard Andersson shot and killed ten people at Campus Risbergska in Örebro. So far, over 500 interviews have been held, which will now be analyzed. The police continue to gather witness statements, images, films, seizures, and financial information related to the suspect. Much has already been collected, and thousands of hours of film will be reviewed.

"Our focus is to continue gathering information to get as clear a picture as possible of the sequence of events and who the perpetrator was", says Dahlström.

07.35: Rickard Andersson takes the bus from Resecentrum in Örebro.

07.47: He arrives at Hagagatan, the bus stop next to Campus Risbergska.

11.30: Rickard Andersson is observed on the school grounds.

Between 07.47 and 11.30, there is a lack of information and observations about where Rickard Andersson was. The police urge the public to come forward if they saw anything during this time period.

12.33: The first alarm about suspected gunfire at the school comes in to SOS Alarm.

12.39: The first police patrol arrives on the scene and enters the school a minute later.

12.43: Rickard Andersson shoots at the police without hitting anyone. Two minutes later, he fires a shot that ends his life.

13.40: Rickard Andersson is found dead. The police continue searching for any additional perpetrators.

17.40: The police complete their search of the school, without finding any additional suspects. The search operation is concluded.
