According to the police investigator Annika Johansson, it concerns a man who was arrested on Thursday. Otherwise, she is reticent about the man's role and what he is suspected of.

He is arrested and detained. That is the only thing I can confirm at present, says Annika Johansson.

No one was physically injured when shots were fired at Elbit's premises in Gothenburg last week.

A boy under 15 years old was taken into custody at the scene – suspected of being the one who fired the shots. The boy has since been placed in a youth care home.

A few days later, a 15-year-old boy was arrested. He is believed to be the one who ordered the shooting and is now detained, suspected of instigating attempted murder and instigating serious weapons offenses.
