No one has been arrested for the shooting, where two men in their 20-25 years old were killed and a third man was shot at but not hit.

That's why the police want more witness statements.

We want to get observations and are keen on not listening too much to different theories, but willing to tell about what they actually saw, says Christian Brattgård.

It's better to let us decide what can be relevant regarding this event.

The two men were shot in connection to a parking lot just before midnight on Monday evening. One of the police's theories is that the shooting has a connection to the long-standing gang conflict in Biskopsgården.

However, it's too early to confirm that, according to Christian Brattgård.

Right now, we can't communicate much about the victims either, as they are an important part of our mapping of the motive, he says.

We're obviously looking at possible network connections, but also if there can be other motives and individual conflicts behind. We must work methodically and look broadly.
