A man has been shot to death in the Brynäs district of Gävle. Another man was injured in the shooting. One died on the spot and the other was taken to hospital, says Magnus Jansson Klarin, press spokesperson for the police.

The incident occurred just after 8 pm on Saturday and several shots were fired at the scene. The police classify the incident as murder and attempted murder.

A man has been taken to hospital.

The injuries are serious but not life-threatening. That's the latest I've heard, says Magnus Jansson Klarin.

The police describe the individuals as "young men in their late teens". It is unclear if anyone has been arrested for the incident.

It's nothing I can go into right now. There is an intense effort underway.

A large police operation is underway in the area and several locations have been cordoned off. The police are seeking witnesses to the incident, including owners of Tesla cars in the area whose video cameras may have captured the incident or people or vehicles of interest to the police.

We have reason to believe that there are people who have made observations, says Magnus Jansson Klarin.

Three weeks ago, six people were shot in central Gävle. A 13-year-old boy was arrested in close proximity to the crime scene at the time.
