The Ambulance Association believes that they did not have the right equipment to cope with the extreme mass shooting in Örebro.
Due to cuts, injured persons were forced to be loaded into private cars.
– We did what we could, but we should have practiced more, is a common reaction, says Henrik Johansson, chairman of the ambulance association To Nerikes Allehanda.
Three minutes after the alarm came in from Risbergska school to SOS, the first ambulance was on the way. The message reads:
“Ongoing deadly violence. Severe fire from fully automatic weapon. “
Several ambulances and rescue personnel went out to the scene and also ambulance helicopters and reserve ambulances were sent out.
“Poorly prepared”
The Ambulance Association’s Federal Secretary Henrik Johansson says in an article to Nerikes Allehanda that the staff who worked on site did not have the right equipment or vehicles to cope with such an extreme event as the one at Örebro.
Without drawing any connection to the case in Örebro, Henrik Johansson says that cuts within the ambulance lead to injured persons sometimes being loaded in police cars or private cars.
– It is not something unique to Örebro, but we are poorly prepared in the ambulance and it is because of downs and cuts, says Henrik Johansson to NA.

“Feeling of frustration”
According to Henrik Johansson, several colleagues who were present at the Risbergska school experience a frustration that they did not do enough.
– It was private individuals who were there and dragged out people with danger to their lives. I think many people know that, and I feel it, that it would have been us. We should be those heroes, says Henrik Johansson.

SVT Örebro Has taken note of the rescue service’s event report during the shooting. There, SOS Alarm receives updates on new shots and injured. At 12.38, a witness at school describes a man “with big weapon”, black clothes and dark blue pants.
Only at 13.58 did the rescue service get the clear sign that “it is safe to go in and work”.
– Of course, we had wanted to come faster and be more helpful, says Kristoffer Roden, rescue leader during the effort to SVT Örebro.
Ten people were murdered at the mass shooting in Örebro. Among the dead were Rickard Andersson himself.
