COPENHAGEN, Denmark—The Swedish prosecutor in charge of investigating whether police committed an error when fatally shooting a 20-year-old disabled man who waved a toy gun, said Friday that it has emerged that several officers opened fire.
“The man held a weapon-like object and officers opened fire after judging the situation as threatening,” Martin Tiden said, adding that the probe was “routine” because policemen had used their firearms. No police officers are suspected of foul play, he said.
