She was on the premises in the apartment when this happened. She was arrested and taken to the nearest police station, says Leif Fransson, press spokesperson at the police command center.

The incident occurred during Tuesday morning.

The national bomb squad has been on site throughout the day to investigate the apartment. Due to suspicions that there may be hazardous objects, the neighboring apartments have been evacuated.

Just before 2 pm, the national bomb squad had finished on site, but the police cannot comment on what was found in the apartment.

The police went to the apartment early in the morning to carry out a planned operation in connection with an ongoing investigation. The man was detained in his absence and was to be arrested, but the police do not want to say why.

He fired shots at the patrol. They feel fired upon. It is in connection with this that warning shots are fired and then live ammunition, says press spokesperson Patric Fors.

He cannot comment on the man's injuries, who has been taken to hospital. The man himself is suspected of attempted murder.

The special prosecutor's office will investigate the police's actions, which is a routine procedure.
