Two men in their 20s have been shot in Järfälla. The men were sitting in a car by a school when they were shot. A third person was in the car, but escaped without injuries.

The police received several calls about shots just before 03, the night until Wednesday.

When patrols arrived at the scene, two men were found shot in a parked car. They are not life-threateningly injured but I know that at least one of them has been taken to hospital by ambulance, says Nadya Norton at the Stockholm police.

The police have been able to talk to the shot persons.

There were three people in the car, of which two were injured. One had to go to the hospital by ambulance, where the injuries were not considered serious, says Per Fahlström at the Stockholm police.

Crime scene at the school

Pictures from the scene show a police operation at a gas station in the Viksjö area and police walking through a car. The shooting occurred, however, at a school nearby, according to the police. There should be no connection between the shooting and the school.

It has been assessed that the crime scene is in connection with the school, and a technical investigation has been carried out there, says Fahlström.

Measures were taken at a gas station, but exactly how it went can not I answer. But it sounds reasonable that they have taken themselves there, he continues.

Viksjö is located a few kilometers south of Kallhäll where two men were shot dead in a car on Monday. The police can not yet answer if there is any connection between the murders and the night's deed.

We have of course with us that event but it is too early to see any connection yet, says Nadya Norton.

Heard the shots

A witness who heard several shots tells Aftonbladet:

I was awake and lay in bed. Then I heard six shots in close succession. Then I opened the window and heard voices, says the witness.

The area was cordoned off after the incident and a large police operation began in Viksjö. A preliminary investigation has been initiated regarding attempted murder and serious weapons offenses.

At 11 o'clock, no one was detained in the case.
