I saw the TV 4 broadcast. A very sceptical-looking policeman was interviewed, and said that they could find no bullets inside the premises and no cartriges outside. I also heard that no neighbours or passers-by reported hearing any shooting. This is strange, considering that shootings are very unusual, and the police always gets dozens of calls when they happen. In the evening I went and had a look at the org window. That caused a flock of scienos (a cluster I should say) to gather at the inside, staring. I was like the zoo, and they were the visitors; I wasn't interested in them. One of them asked if I use to wear a bullet-proof vest, but I didn't perceive any underlying threat in his tone. Maybe they are too lame to express a threat properly, even if they mean it. There were two holes in the window that did look like bullet holes, clean on the outside and wide-shattered on the inside. The shooting angles appear strange to me for both holes. One hole was at level lower than a bookshelf inside the window. A horisontal shot would have hit the books or the shelf. To miss them, the shot would have had to be at a fairly sharp upwards angle, putting the shooter just outside the window. The hole was blackened, a fact which could support this theory or could be connected to the police investigation. Anyway, at such an angle the bullet could not hit anything but white walls or a white ceiling. Yet I could see no marks on either walls or ceiling. Also, as far as I know, the scienos were in the local at the time of both shootings, but didn't report seeing anyone shooting just outside the window. Strange. The other shot hit the window pretty high, at about 2,5 metres above the ground, almost perfectly over the lower one. Without claiming to know anything about ballistics or the behaviour of shot glass, I think that the hole was too nicely circular for the shot to have passed at any wide angle. That, if I'm correct, would put the shooter at quite some distance, possibly at the other side of the street. No matter in which order the shots were shot, it appears a strange coincidence that they ended so nicely above each-other. I hear that the scienos immediately accused me of the deed. Of course they would in any case, but I have the feeling that they were a bit too eager to accuse me even for what can normally be expected of them. All put together, I am very prone to agree with Anti-Cult in that the shooting - if there was any shooting at all - is very likely to be the scienos' work. If it is, I would guess that it's more likely an attempt to divert attention from the news about the burglary in MP Westerholm's room in the parliament, than something directly connected to their dispute with me. Nevertheless, considering that they can be expected to try to draw some extra bonus from the affair, I did take a hasty look around when I got home. I found no gun.
