Two people were injured in a shooting at a shopping center in the southern city of Malmo, Swedish police said.
A suspect was arrested after a shooting at an Emporia shopping center Friday afternoon that police said was gang-related.
Police are on site with huge resources to interview witnesses, review information from surveillance cameras and map the scene. The immediate danger to the public appears to be over, Malmö police said.
Shootings by criminal gangs have become a growing problem in Sweden in recent decades, including in the country’s third-largest city, Malmö. Mob violence is one of the main campaign issues ahead of Sweden’s national election on September 11.
Last month, a gunman opened fire inside a shopping mall across the Oresund strait in the Danish capital, Copenhagen. Three people were killed and four were injured. Dane, the 22-year-old suspect in the shooting, chose his victims at random, police said.
