The shooting in Emporia on Saturday is linked to the gang criminal environment. After a long period of calm, Malmö has seen an increased spiral of violence among various criminal groups.
That’s what police chief Petra Stenkula says. But the risk of retaliation is low.
– But our conflict situation in Malmö is so serious that we have several conflicts. This means that we cannot rule out other acts of violence taking place.
The 15-year-old who is arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder denies any crime, his lawyer tells SVT. The boy was arrested shortly after the shooting.
