A Swedish police officer was shot and killed on Wednesday night while on duty in Sweden in what is a rare occurrence in Nordic countries.
The rookie police officer, 33, was shot during a patrol of the Gothenburg suburb Biskopsgarden, which has been plagued by gang violence in recent years.
Caretaker Prime Minister Stefan Lofven today expressed outrage at the murder, calling it an ‘attack on our open society’.
He was on patrol in a very vibrant neighborhood.
