Why do you always refer to the Ulriksdal area as Järva? Even if it is correct, it is not what it is called by Stockholmers and there are many who associate Järva with other city districts, so it just confuses.
Mads
Hi Mads! As a Stockholmer and former reporter in Järva, I agree with you. I think that yesterday it was about the fact that we initially had the police information to go by and that they wrote Järva, but we usually become more specific as soon as we have more information about the incident.
When are the police, authorities and politicians going to put their fists on the table so that we stop all shooting deaths. Or should we accept that every day a person is shot to death. That’s enough now!

How is the search for the man on the scooter going in Järva? There are police everywhere and helicopters in the air.
