A fourth person was at risk of being hit by bullets fired from a gun. One person was hit in the abdomen, one in the arm and one in the finger.

There have been serious injuries, most serious for the person who was hit in the abdomen, says prosecutor Gabriella Widstrand.

The man is also charged with aggravated unlawful threats against two men who were at the scene at the time of the incident in southern Stockholm, as well as aggravated weapons offences.

The people who were shot were at the residence because of an ongoing rental dispute with the now-defendant man, according to the prosecutor.

He admits certain circumstances but denies the crime, that's my view, says Widstrand about the 60-year-old.
