According to the police, the victim of the gun attack in a Swedish shopping center was the actual target of the alleged perpetrator. A second seriously injured victim is apparently a passer-by.
15-year-old arrested as suspected perpetrator
After the shots were fired in the shopping center on Friday, the police arrested a 15-year-old as the suspected perpetrator. She quickly ruled out a terrorist attack, rather she suspected a “connection with the criminal milieu”.
Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson condemned the act. “Shooting in a shopping center is absolutely ruthless and inconsiderate towards the lives of others,” she said during an election campaign in Malmo.
With just a few weeks to go before the general elections in Sweden, crime has become one of the main topics of public debate.
