After shots were fired in a shopping center in western Sweden – krone.at reported on Sunday – a boy under the age of 15 is suspected. The teen is in custody and is currently staying in a home, police said.
Police said the boy was the alleged perpetrator and was charged with serious weapons offenses and two counts of attempted murder.
The shots were fired on Sunday afternoon in a shopping center in Kungsbacka, a small town south of Gothenburg. A man aged about 25 was injured.
Suspect also shot at police
According to police, the suspect not only shot the actual victim, who remains in stable condition at the hospital, but also during his arrest. That is why he is accused of attempted murder in two cases.
Sweden has been struggling for years with criminal gangs, which are involved in conflicts in many places in the country and are sometimes extremely violent. Shots are fired again and again.
The background to the incident is still unclear
Underage teenagers like the Kungsbacka suspect are often among the perpetrators and victims. However, it is still unclear whether the background of the incident in the shopping center also lies in a gang environment.
