The cottage was shot at with an automatic weapon on February 9, but no person was hit.

The men are 21 and 22 years old and were arrested a week ago in southern Sweden. According to the police, they are suspected of attempted murder. They are initially detained for the actual possession of the weapon, in a first round until August 18, reports Fyns Stiftstidende.

The act is described as "absurd" by Michael Lichtenstein, who leads the work against economic and organized crime at the police on Fyn

"Even if there were probably no people in the house, it could have ended very badly, since several shots went straight through the house's walls", he says in a press release.
