The Swedish police arrested a 16-year-old to be responsible for the fatal shots in Uppsala. He is accused of having given shots in a hairdressing salon in the university town. He is suspected of murder. According to media reports, the dead are said to have been between 15 and 20 years old. The police have not yet confirmed this.
According to the crime, a masked man should have fled on an e-scooter. The police had been alerted by callers who reported shot in the center of the city. The rail traffic had been temporarily stopped.
Similarities to previous acts of violence
According to the police, there was an “isolated incident” that had nothing to do with the upcoming celebrations for the Walpurgis Night.
It is speculated that the background of the crime is in the gang milieu. Many aspects of the latest act resemble previous incidents in which rival gangs were involved – including the possibly young age of the victims and the suspected suspect.
In Uppsala a year and a half ago, the mother of a high -ranking gang member had also been killed, which overturned his original course with the boss. At that time, this had led to a new wave of violence in the region, which has been flaming again and again since then.
Problems with Gang crime in Sweden
Sweden has been struggling with criminal gangs for years, which are always responsible for fatal shots and intentional explosions. A whole series of different gang conflicts is about power sovereignty in the local drug business, intimidation and blackmailing companies and private individuals.
For the deeds, the gangs often recruit underage teenagers because they are not yet punishable in Sweden. According to previous police estimates, more than 60,000 people in the Scandinavian eleven million-inhabitant country are said to have connections to criminal gangs.
