The two young people were taken into custody on Sunday, on suspicion of probable cause.

The case is absolutely prioritised, the police are working intensively and several investigative measures have been taken, but I'm not going to say which ones, says District Attorney Emma Harris to the newspaper.

On September 24, police were called to a residential area in central Strängnäs after reports of gunfire next to an apartment building.

The detention of the 14-year-old has legal support since a legal amendment to lower the age of criminal responsibility came into force on September 10. Under the amendment, 14-year-olds can be sentenced to prison for serious crimes with a minimum sentence of four years in prison.
