One has found remains that appear to come from a hand grenade, says Leif Fransson.

An undetonated hand grenade has also been found and it will be neutralized on site by the police's bomb technicians.

The police have cordoned off an area around the apartment building. The residents of the house have been urged not to leave their homes.
