The people were arrested earlier this week in Sweden and are believed to be 15-18 years old.

According to the police, the dead man, in his 20s, was known to the police and had ties to criminal circles, NRK reports. He was allegedly shot near a football pitch and several children witnessed the shooting, according to NTB.

According to Norwegian police, the two suspects were arrested in connection with a shooting in Norrköping. They have now been charged with murder in Norway.

On Thursday, Swedish police announced that two people had been arrested after a shooting in Norrköping, in which a man in his 20s was seriously injured.

"We have initiated cooperation with the Swedish police on extradition, but at the moment it is too early to say when it can happen," said Norwegian prosecutor Anne Marie Hustad at the press conference, according to NTB.
