The then 16-year-old boy fired six shots at the house – and was then shot himself. He is now being convicted of attempted murder, among other charges, several media outlets report.

It was in May of this year that the police were alerted to a shooting at a home in Grästorp municipality. Now a 17-year-old boy has been sentenced for firing six live shots at the house.

In connection with the shooting – four of which entered the house – he himself was hit in the leg when a person in the home fired a shotgun at him.

The boy, who has turned 17, is sentenced to two and a half years in closed juvenile detention for, among other things, attempted murder and preparation for murder.

In a separate investigation, two teenagers have been charged with two arson attacks – including at the same home in Grästorp. According to prosecutors, the incidents are suspected to be linked to a drug conflict.
