Story continues below…Earlier this month officers shot a man in Viksjö, northern Stockholm, who according to witnesses was brandishing a pistol-like object. The shooting victim, born in 1988, was at the time the tenth person to be fatally shot by Swedish police since January 2013. "The initial information police gave in connection with a man being shot dead by police in Bagarmossen on June 22nd was not correct. We have to think in the future about tightening our procedures so that the information is correct rather than quick," Helena Östman of the police in Stockholm told the daily. At the time officers said that the driver had got out of his car and shot at the police unit, who returned fire.
