This was news all over Scandinavia and debated up and down and the police actions were condemned from everyone.

It was an extremely troublesome case even here in Norway. It rocked the very principals that our societies are based on. So yes, it can happen (it has happened once) but it's not institutionalised.

I suspect this case will also be used in training in the future as an example of what not to do.

The fact that it is news at all, and that people widely condemn it, says a lot. In the US, these sort of situations seem to be terrifyingly common. In Netherland, police do carry guns, but they are very rarely used. And even more rarely fired.

In Australia it was a national news story that someone pulled out a gun in a pizza takeaway place. No one was hurt but just pulling out a gun was shocking enough to be big news.
