Some residents were taken into custody and the area was cordoned off. At 11 a.m., the police announced that the hand grenade had been seized, but that certain investigative measures were still ongoing.

The hand grenade was found near an address where shots had been fired at a door inside a stairwell earlier in the night.

A young man was arrested after the shooting and has been detained on suspicion of aggravated unlawful threats and aggravated weapons offenses. No one has been arrested in connection with the hand grenade.

It is easy to think that there may be a direct connection between events one and two, but it is too early to be able to establish anything like that, says Isaksson Samara.
