Killing Spree
On June 11, 1994, Second Lieutenant Mattias Flink consumed a large amount of alcohol. Then he went home to change his clothes. Dressed in his field uniform he walked to his regiment. He equipped himself with his AK5 assault rifle and 150 rounds of ammunition, 5.56x45mm NATO caliber. Flink then set out for a park in Downtown Falun where he shot 6 members of the Women's Auxiliary Services. The women were shot at random. Shortly thereafter, he shot two men, one cyclist and one security officer, at a nearby road crossing. Six of the victims died immediately, while one woman died in the hospital. One victim survived the attack.

Famous quotes containing the word killing:
“His mind resembled the vast amphitheatre, the Colisæum at Rome. In the centre stood his judgement, which, like a mighty gladiator, combated those apprehensions that, like the wild beasts of the Arena, were all around the cells, ready to be let out upon him. After a conflict, he drove them back into their dens; but not killing them, they were still assailing him.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
