A door to an apartment in a multi-family house in Husby, northwestern Stockholm, was shot at with several shots during the night leading up to Saturday.

A boy under 18 years old was arrested near the scene shortly after the shooting and is now suspected of attempted murder.

No one was found injured and the apartment was empty at the time of the crime, says police spokesperson Helena Boström Thomas.

The alarm came in at 00.30. It is unclear whether the arrested person has any connection to other violent incidents that have occurred recently.

It's a bit too early to say, but of course, we're looking into it, says Helena Boström Thomas.

The police have initiated an investigation into suspected attempted murder and have several resources on site during the night.

We're checking vehicles and people, inventorying camera footage, and conducting other routine investigative measures.
