Strömmer writes further that he feels strongly for the victims, relatives and "all people in Gävle who today wake up to dark headlines and feel anxiety and fear for the violence and what it does to our society".
It was during the night against Saturday that six young people were injured in a shooting in central Gävle. According to the police, there are people under 18 years among the injured. According to the initial information, no one is life-threateningly injured.
A boy under 15 years has been arrested, suspected in the case.
Gunnar Strömmer describes the act as "yet another dark example that the violence capital among criminals is still large and that the risks for new violent acts are constantly bubbling beneath the surface".
He continues:
"If it is true that the one who held the weapon is a child under 15 years, it is yet another pitch-black example of how violence has penetrated further down in ages. It remains to be seen what circumstances are behind".
S-leader Magdalena Andersson writes in a comment on social media that "all of Sweden is shaken by the act in Gävle tonight".
She writes further:
"No Swedish city should have to experience such violence and the insecurity that follows".
