According to the authority, the wolf was shot in a pasture on the same farm where an attack had occurred the night before, killing two sheep.
The wolf is reported to have been shot in accordance with hunting regulations.
We will not hand it over to the police as we believe it was done correctly, says Jakob Göransson, wildlife officer at the County Administrative Board, to SVT News Jönköping.
He says it is likely that it was the same wolf on both nights, but that this must be confirmed with DNA samples, which have not yet been returned.
According to SVT, a hunter who was hunting wild boar saw the attack on Friday night. He first tried to scare the wolf away, but then shot it when that failed.
