The alarm about the shooting came just before midnight. Two men in their 20-25 years old were shot dead in a parking lot in the area. A third escaped. According to media reports, the shootings may be linked to a long-standing conflict between two gangs in southern and northern Biskopsgården.

It has been chaos the last month, real chaos. People are running back and forth all the time and screaming, I don't understand anything, says a resident in the area.

The man who wants to remain anonymous says that he has kept his son home from school in recent days due to concerns about what might happen.

It feels like it's best to move from here, for my son's sake. It's the first time it feels like that, I've lived here for eight-nine years.

Sabina Ozuner also lives in the area, she has three boys of school age.

We are afraid to leave them alone, she says.

We couldn't sleep at all last night, she continues.

The morning after the shooting, it is relatively calm at the site, but the police have a continued marked presence in the area.

We are very worried, and think about our children and all other children, says Sabina Ozuner.
