    HELSKRICKARD ANDERSSON, 35, shot ten people at Risbergska school.

    In December, Rickard Andersson sold a weapons cabinet on the block.

    The man who bought it now tells Frykdalsbygden about his impression of him.

    – He was foamy in the way and just responded to addresses, he tells the newspaper.

    School shooter Rickard Andersson, 35, lived a withdrawn life and left few digital traces behind.

    When the police went through his phone, hardly any text messages were found, according to information that Aftonbladet previously reported. The last call happened before Christmas, when Andersson sold a weapon cabinet.

    Now Frykdalsbygden has talked to Anders Ullström from Sunne who bought the cabinet. His son would take the hunter’s degree and when Anders saw an advertisement on the Block about the weapons cabinet he heard from Rickard Andersson and went to his apartment in Örebro to complete the deal.

    He describes the apartment as a kid, with few things in.

    – The first thing I saw was the weapon cabinet. We never came in further than 1-1.5 meters. But I saw that there was a bed and a desk with a desktop computer. And 5-10 moving boxes. Everything was picked up. It really looked like he was emptying the apartment. But I didn’t see any weapons. I could never dream that he would have any, says Anders Ullström.

    The police knocked on

    He had never imagined that the person he had in front of him would later shoot ten people and injure sex, in the worst mass shooting in Swedish history.

    He says that Andersson appeared as kufs and just responded to accusations and describes the newspaper how he perceived him:

    – As apathetic, awkward and withdrawn, a harmless person who did not come up for anything and who should have lived in a residence with staff. As a person who did not seem to be able to kill even a fly.

    When the news of the terrible school council reached Anders Ullström, he had no idea that the suspected shooter could be the man he bought the son’s weapon cabinet from.

    But last Wednesday, early in the morning, the police knocked with him. They had found his number in the killer’s phone and wanted to interrogate him as a witness in the ongoing investigation.

    – It was uneasy, cold corps ran along the spine. But I couldn’t believe in my wildest imagination that he owned and had a license for weapons. The cabinet was just there, dusty and unused. I had bought the story that he inherited the cabinet from a relative and that he would move, because he looked to live in a moving chaos.
