Something like that.So most likely another one of those that ‘suddenly go off’ who were on psych medication, joining a long list of perpetrators that were medicated when they went on their killing spree.
Here is more about the shooting in Copenhagen. The short version is that the suspect
is now imprisoned in a closed psychiatric ward.
had been on Quetiapine a drug used to counter psychotic disorders.
had uploaded four disturbing videos the day before the shooting.
The Wiki mentions about Quetiapine
Jyllands-Posten has:Quetiapine, sold under the brand name Seroquel among others, is an atypical antipsychotic medication used for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder.[6][7] Despite being widely used as a sleep aid due to its sedating effect, the benefits of such use do not appear to generally outweigh the side effects.[8] It is taken orally.[6]
Common side effects include sleepiness, constipation, weight gain, and dry mouth.[6] Other side effects include low blood pressure with standing, seizures, a prolonged erection, high blood sugar, tardive dyskinesia, and neuroleptic malignant syndrome.[6] In older people with dementia, its use increases the risk of death.[6] Use in the third trimester of pregnancy may result in a movement disorder in the baby for some time after birth.[6] Quetiapine is believed to work by blocking a number of receptors including serotonin and dopamine.[6]
Quetiapine was developed in 1985 and approved for medical use in the United States in 1997.[6][9] It is available as a generic medication.[10] In 2019, it was the 56th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 13 million prescriptions.[11][12]
In BT.dk, they say that the suspect had been prescribed Quetiapine, but he claimed it did not help. The article is mainly a cry for more hospital beds for those with psychiatric disorders.04/07/2022 KL. 14:58

The 22-year-old has been remanded in custody for 24 days for the shooting at Field's
After a court hearing in Copenhagen City Court, the 22-year-old was suspected of Sunday's shooting in Field's remand prison in a closed psychiatric ward.
HENRIK SKYTTE NIELSEN
After about two hours of constitutional questioning, the judge in the Copenhagen City Court on Monday afternoon chose to remand in custody a 22-year-old man who is suspected of Sunday's shooting in the shopping center Field's on Amager.
Custody will take place in a surrogate ward in a closed psychiatric ward. And then a mental examination of the man must be initiated. Prosecutor Søren Harbo informs the press after the constitutional hearing.
The charge is manslaughter and attempted manslaughter. The 22-year-old is charged with killing a 47-year-old man, a 17-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy. In addition, he is charged with seven counts of attempted murder.
The actual constitutional hearing took place behind closed doors. But before the doors were closed, the accused man had entered a jam-packed courtroom accompanied by three combat-clad officers. The 22-year-old, who was wearing a blue t-shirt, confirmed his identity as questioned by the judge before answering ‘I am not sure’ to a question about the time of his arrest.
Almost immediately after the reading of the charge of manslaughter and attempted manslaughter, a name ban was imposed in the case for both the accused, the three killed and the seven who were subjected to attempted murder.
The defense counsel for the accused also stated that his client did not want to take a position on the charges against him. At least not in the open part of the constitutional hearing.
The prosecutor requested in Copenhagen City Court to close the door due to the fact that there is still no overview of the scope of the case. The judge chose to follow.
Berlingske had:After tragic mass shooting: 'Too many are rejected'
The tragic mass shooting in Field's, in which a suspected 22-year-old perpetrator shot and killed three people and injured several, gets a large psychiatric organization on the field with a shout:
We need more psychiatric beds.
‘Too many are being rejected in psychiatry. It is a big problem that there is a lack of beds to admit patients. They are simply rejected, and if they finally get a place, there are also many who are discharged prematurely. We see extremely many readmissions, «says Jane Alrø Sørensen, who is general secretary of the organization Better Psychiatry.
Copenhagen Police have announced that the perpetrator has been part of the psychiatric system.
Jane Alrø Sørensen emphasizes that she does not know about the specific case, but that she knows about the challenges in the psychiatric system. Among other things, that for resource reasons one is forced to reject people with mental illnesses who want to be hospitalized, and that they are rejected because there are not enough beds.
'It's a big problem in psychiatry. The number of beds has been reduced over many years, 'she says.
The problems in psychiatry, according to critics, begin already at the first referral from the doctor. B.T. has recently been able to tell how patients in droves are rejected in the psychiatric system.
In round figures, approximately one in five adult patients has been rejected in the psychiatric system in the past year, even though they have been referred by their own doctor. For children and young people, it is about one in four.
An open question in a case like this is whether the 22-year-old has been adequately picked up by the psychiatric system before he - according to the suspicion - committed his crime.
On Monday, DR writes that the 22-year-old man tried to contact a crisis line shortly before the shooting.
On a series of YouTube videos posted by the suspected perpetrator, he appears with a rifle, which he takes up to his head and mouth, after which he can click the trigger.
In a video, he also says:
'Quetiapine does not work.'
Quetiapine is a medicinal product used to treat psychotic disorders.
P.t. the public knows nothing of the alleged perpetrator's contact with psychiatry.
Jane Alrø Sørensen says that it is impossible to make a completely fine-meshed net that picks up all psychiatric patients. Also those who should be hospitalized.
“One must be to the detriment of oneself or others. Here, however, it is important that it should be known. Doctors need to know that. Many psychiatric patients show up themselves and say that they are afraid that they may risk harming themselves or others. And they intercept the system as a starting point, 'she says and continues:
'But if it does not happen, or no one comes forward with a concern, then patients can walk around without it being detected,' she says.
During a visit to Field's on Monday, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was asked why the Social Democrats have not yet landed a ten-year psychiatry agreement, which was up for election in 2019.
She would not answer that.
'Today, I think we need to remember the victims and take care of all those who have been involved in this,' the Prime Minister said.
Shortly before the attack, the alleged perpetrator shared four disturbing videos
Three people have been killed, while four others - including two 16-year-olds - are badly injured after Sunday's shooting at the Field's shopping center. Prior to the incident, the 22-year-old suspected perpetrator, who was arrested shortly after, posted four disturbing videos on YouTube.
The day before he killed three people, injured several others and spread terror among cinema-goers, teenagers on their way to a concert and Sunday shoppers in Field's on Amager, the arrested 22-year-old man uploaded four videos to his channel on YouTube.
The videos, which, like the alleged perpetrator's YouTube channel, have since been deleted, were recorded in a sparsely furnished room with whitewashed walls and blackout curtains.
In none of the videos does the 22-year-old say anything. He looks into the camera and handles his weapons - in one of the videos a pistol, apparently an older Walther P38, and in the other a Sauer 200 rifle model, which is popular among competitive shooters.
