STOCKHOLM (AP) — Swedish police said that three people are confirmed dead after a shooting Tuesday in Uppsala, a city near Stockholm, and are investigating the incident as a murder.
Swedish media reported that a manhunt is underway for the perpetrator, who reportedly fled the scene on an electric scooter.
Police said in a statement that they had received calls from members of the public who reported hearing loud bangs reminiscent of gunfire in central Uppsala, a university city located north of Stockholm, the capital.
Photos of the scene showed police outside of a barber shop called “Shalom.”
A large area was cordoned off by police as they launched an investigation.
There was no immediate indication of motive, and the police statement did not provide details about a suspected perpetrator.
Sweden has grappled with gang violence for years, with frequent shootings and bombings.
