A deadly shooting in central Uppsala claimed three lives on Tuesday, prompting Swedish police to launch a murder investigation and a manhunt for the suspect.
The incident occurred in the university city north of Stockholm, with authorities receiving multiple emergency calls reporting gunfire-like sounds.
Police arrived at the scene to find three individuals fatally wounded. According to Swedish media, the suspected shooter fled on an electric scooter, and a search is now underway. No details about the suspect or motive have been released as the investigation continues.
Images from the scene showed a significant police presence outside a barber shop called “Shalom,” with forensic teams investigating a cordoned-off area. While Sweden has faced a rise in gang-related shootings and bombings in recent years, it is not yet confirmed whether this incident is connected to organized crime.
Police are appealing to the public for information to aid in apprehending the suspect. The investigation remains active as authorities work to uncover the circumstances of the attack. (ILKHA)
