Q: You start by saying that you were walking on the other side. So you mean that you were walking on the western carriageway of Sveavägen in the direction of Kungsgatan. Is that correct?
W: Yes.
Q: Had you reached the intersection with Tunnelgatan when you heard this first shot or where were you? Do you remember that?
W: Yes, before the intersection. I can't say exactly, but it was fifty meters from there maybe.
Q: As long as fifty meters?
W:
Is it fifty meters all the way there? No, then it wasn't that far at all. Yes, it was before somewhere there. It was sideways so you could see
F: Were there a lot of people moving around at that time?
W: No, not that many. There weren't.
F: So you think it was about ten meters
W: Yes, ten meters might be more accurate.
F: Ten meters north of the intersection with Tunnelgatan and you were then on the western carriageway of Sveavägen.
W: Yes.
F: Can you describe what this first shot sounds like? Is it a high, shrill bang or a dull bang?
W: No, I think it's hard to describe. I haven't heard that many shots in my life, but the second shot was heard more clearly, I thought, but maybe that was because you had already heard a shot before. also, that people were more attentive.
F: What did you think when the first shot rang out? Did you understand that it was a pistol or revolver shot or did you think that there was some natural explanation.
W: Yes, at first I thought so. I thought, oh, a shot, but then I thought, no, it can't be a shot. It must be a car or something, the exhaust pipe or something that's going off.
F: When you hear this first shot, can you locate directly where it's coming from?
W: No. I look, yes, on the other side I hear it coming from but not exactly where.
F: How long of a time interval is it until the second shot comes?
W: Yes... it's only a few seconds. I can estimate it to be maybe five seconds. No, not even that. Maybe three.
