The incident is being investigated as an attempted murder and the police have launched an extensive search effort in northern Stockholm County in the hunt for a perpetrator.
We received several alarms about suspected gunfire near Upplands Väsby center, where we found a gunshot wounded man, says the police's press spokesperson Ola Österling.
We have all of Stockholm police's resources involved, including a helicopter and dog handlers.
Two areas have been cordoned off – the suspected crime scene and the location where the man was found – where the police are conducting interviews and carrying out technical investigations.
The alarm came in at 17.30 on Thursday and by nine o'clock in the evening, no one had been arrested in the case.
