Spotify Executive Among One of the Dead in Sweden Terrorist Attack

Among one of the people killed in the Sweden terrorist attack was Chris Bevington, a Spotify executive based in the company’s Stockholm office and was the director of global partnerships and business development, according to his LinkedIn page. 

CNN Tech reported:

“Chris has been a member of our band for over 5 years. He has had a great impact on not just the business but on everyone who had the privilege to know and work with him,” Ek wrote in the post on Sunday. “There are no words for how missed he will be or for how sad we all are to have lost him like this.”

Ek said he was “deeply saddened and upset” that the attack happened in Sweden.

“The only light in this deeply tragic moment is the outpouring of love, compassion and solidarity that we have seen from everyone. And that was exactly the kind of person Chris was as well,” Ek said.

Spotify, which is headquartered in Stockholm, said it was not commenting beyond Ek’s post.

Bevington was among four killed in the attack on Friday, which also left a dozen people injured, after a stolen truck plowed into pedestrians on a busy Stockholm street. A 39-year-old suspect from Uzbekistan has been arrested.

“We are all devastated by the untimely and tragic death of our talented, compassionate and caring son Chris,” John Bevington, the victim’s father, said in a statement. “A wonderful husband, son, father, brother and close friend to many.”

Bevington and his family are victims of Sweden’s insane open borders immigration policy. Another life cut short because of leftist politicians who bow to the multiculti golden calf. It’s pretty simple. If you import Islamic terrorists, expect to have blood spilling in the streets.
