Sweden mourns 4 killed, 15 wounded in Stockholm truck attack

None

Swedes observed a minute of silence Monday during an official day of mourning to honor the four people killed and 15 wounded in a truck attack last week on shoppers in Stockholm.

 

Prime Minister Stefan Lofven told a crowd outside Stockholm City Hall that "the whole of Sweden" sympathized with the families and friends of the victims, thanking the police and other officials for their courage "from the bottom of my heart."

 

He said the countries of the four victims -- two Swedes, a British man and a Belgian woman -- had suffered "horrendous acts of terrorism, but we have also seen the strength and determination and power of our democratic societies."

 

"We will never surrender to terror. We will get through this together," Lofven said.
