some local info bc i'm like. shocked at seeing this thread here lmao especially with people talking about terrorism like......... this is my small swedish hometown, chill
there was an article on a local news site (behind a paywall so probably pointless to link it) about one of the shop owners who'd helped a victim (victims came into two different stores as far as i know). the owner said he was well aware of the attacker and had had issues with him in the store before. it's in an area where a lot of addicts hang out. i've heard from people who knew the attacker and they've said he had a lot of issues, according to a friend he has also threatened people before, with weapons i think even. i saw him last summer around a time when people were wary of him because of that. but take this with a pinch of salt!! because this is just rumors i've heard lol
anyway like it's super terrible, yes, but it's not terrorism
