shot to death
in front of his 12-year-old son.
It happened in Skärholmen
in southern Stockholm.
The father and the son
was on his way to the swimming pool.
The shooting happened
after the father had spoken
a group of young people
who stood in a tunnel.
Many have told that.
The father had several times
talked to the police
about young people who
sells drugs in the area.
He thought it was bad.
Katarina has lived
in Skärholmen for more than 40 years.
She knew the father well
because she is a close friend
with his mother.
Katarina has arrived at the scene
where the father was shot.
Many have left flowers
and lit candles there.
– It’s terrible.
I have never been involved
something like this in my life.
It is difficult to understand,
says Katarina.
She’s crying.
Lately
has she become afraid of
to go out in the evenings
in Skärholmen.
It wasn’t like that before.
Kicki also lives in the area.
She is also sad and scared
after what has happened.
She thinks more police officers
should be in Skärholmen
continuously.
She thinks so too
that more cameras
should sit up.
The shooting of the father
is the third shooting
in Skärholmen in a short time.
