According to Haraldsson, “relatives” – he wouldn’t specify how many – saw what happened and fled from the building.Haraldsson also reported that several shots were fired.
Police carried out search warrants at several locations late Wednesday night in their hunt to find the 29-year-old, but without any results.“We continue to gather information in order to search more places,” said Haraldsson.The victim has school-age children and this morning the school’s principal met with the staff to inform them about what had happened. A welfare officer, the school nurse, and three people from the municipalities support unit were on hand at the school to provide assistance to those who needed it.
