The two suspects were arrested over two hours after the shooting, which took place just after 10 pm on Sunday evening.

There are more who have been controlled. But at one o'clock, there were two who were arrested and detained, says Rebecka Landberg.

She that both are minors, i.e. under 18 years old.

The police have made house searches after the arrests, but it is unclear what has been seized.

A technical investigation is still ongoing and Rebecka Landberg does not want to speculate about what type of firearm has been used or how many shots were fired.

The evidence is quite good. There are many cameras in the area and it seems that much of this is filmed, she says.

There is no information about anyone being injured in the shooting.

The alarm about the shooting in the Vasastan district came in at 10.23 pm, after residents heard the shots. The crime scene has been cordoned off and several have been questioned by the police about the incident.
