Nine charged in Västerås shooting

Nine people are being charged with various crimes in connection with a shooting in Västerås in the summer of 2024.

The eight men and one woman are between 20 and 26 years old, according to VLT.

Six of them allegedly got three minors to fire a total of 13 shots at a person in a residential area in the Eriksborg district. The target, however, managed to escape the scene unharmed on an electric scooter.

The charges include incitement to murder, brandishing and involving a minor in crime, as well as aiding and abetting attempted murder and protecting a criminal.

The background is said to have been a gang conflict.
