What we know is that the perpetrator is said to have knocked on the door of an apartment where both plaintiffs were located. Both plaintiffs open the door and one of them gets shot. The other tries to flee from the scene, but the perpetrator catches up and shoots the other plaintiff on the open street, says the police's press spokesperson Jimmy Modin.

It was on Tuesday that two men were shot and injured in the municipality. A 20-year-old man has life-threatening injuries and a 25-year-old man is seriously injured, according to Region Skåne.

The alarm about the shooting came at 15:07. One man was shot indoors in a residential building and the other outdoors.

Just before midnight on Monday evening, two men aged 20-25 were also shot to death in Biskopsgården in Gothenburg.

Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer (M) calls the shootings "terrible".

"We must continue to do everything we can to crack down hard on serious violence, strangle the criminal economy, and break the recruitment of children and young people into gangs - and in that work, we will not slow down", he says in a written statement to TT.
