The whole community needs to help find people who risk committing mass murder and insanity. The police can’t do it on their own, says national police chief Petra Lundh to Dagens Nyheter.
– The police have a hard time doing it if we have no indications whatsoever, she tells the newspaper.
The mass murderer Rickard Andersson in Örebro was not known by the police before. The police tool to find that kind of lone wolves are few.
– If you do not occur with us, it is very difficult. Here, society needs to have a safety net and really capture these people, whether it is psychiatry, the school environment or relatives, Petra Lundh tells DN.
She mentions the confidentiality rules in health care as an example of something that makes the exchange of information difficult between authorities.
At a press conference on Thursday, the police told us more about the deed in Örebro, including that 70 shots were fired by the perpetrator.
