A lorry has smashed into a store in central Stockholm, killing at least three people, Swedish police say.

Several people were also injured in the incident on Drottninggatan (Queen Street), one of the city's major pedestrian streets.

Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said everything pointed to an act of terrorism and that one person had been arrested. He gave no details.

The firm that owns the lorry said it had been hijacked earlier in the day.

The crash happened at the Ahlens department store just before 15:00 local time (13:00 GMT).

Swedish brewery Spendrups said its lorry had been stolen on its way to a restaurant delivery.

I guess it was only a matter of time before it would happen here as well. 3 dead and 8 wounded as of now.  Hopefully those figures won't go up.

RIP.

At times like these I wish the media just wouldn't report it to not give the terrorists what they want. It also gives everyone a false sense of imminent danger. And fear always leads to bad decisions.

The media (the serious media, not those alternative-facts idiots) is playing an important role in informing people, both those in the area and their relatives. I think people would freak out much more if media didn't report about the events, and it would also lead to an increase in speculations and rumours.

In this case the police seems to have done a good job in getting control of the situation, and that's something you want those responsible as well as their supporters to see.

As nice as it is to see the good work people do, the effect of those pictures pales into comparison with the pictures of the carnage and sorrow. Terrorists world wide get off on seeing people being terrified and weeping for their loved ones. This high then motivates them even more. The whole point of terrorism is to spread fear and the media is doing a great job of spreading it for the terrorists free of charge.

Showing it to the whole world just to garner worthless sympathy while providing every terrorist a visible goal and showing them how easily achiavable it is is doing everyone a disservice. Of course I know it's impossible to keep such a thing under wraps but wuldn't it be nice if we could at least stop giving the terrorists the satisfaction that they crave?

This could easily be done locally without being blown up world wide.

So just don't tell anyone? So it's better to normalize the danger of terrorism instead?

Do they actually achieve anything? Killing random civilians all over the place...
Its just weird to me. What's the point?
"To spread terror" yeah and then what? Get bombed out of existence, when the western giant finally wakes up? Gratz?

Reminds me of the nazi vampires in Hellsing. Their only purpose was to create a war and then to die in it...
