Three people were shot to death yesterday afternoon in central Uppsala. The police have not confirmed that the incident has connections to gang criminality.
At a press conference on Wednesday morning about breaking the recruitment of children and young people into gangs, Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer says:
Regardless of what lies behind, this is something that a decent society cannot accept without it being stopped.
He says that the government is in contact with the police and that a special regional incident has been initiated.
The police have increased their security-enhancing presence, says Strömmer.
