The alarm came in at 02.35 and when the patrol arrived at the scene, it was discovered that several shots had been fired at a door to an apartment building. According to information to the police, someone had stood in a courtyard and shot up at an apartment.

A man in his 20s was arrested during the night. He is suspected of attempted murder and serious weapons offense.

We were able to arrest a suspected perpetrator shortly afterwards in the vicinity, said Henrik Hagström, duty officer at police region South, earlier.

During the morning, the police conducted a technical investigation, which did not show that the shots were directed at a specific apartment in the house. According to the police, the perpetrator shot at the entrance door, but they have also found bullet holes in a window pane in the stairwell.

A weapon was found in connection with the crime scene. The police will investigate if it was the weapon used in the shooting.

No one is reported to have been injured in the shooting.
