At the end of December last year, two 15-year-old boys with an automatic carbine and a pistol shot at an apartment building and later an apartment door in Gubbängen in Stockholm. Both are convicted of attempted murder and grossly unlawful threat to closed youth care. The Södertörn district court writes that the total penalty value if the boys had been adults would have been 15 years in prison. – They are both also convicted of aggravated armed crime and robbery and the penalty is determined to be 1 year and 10 months in closed youth care, says Chamber Prosecutor Karin Hammar in a press release. On the run Both teenagers were known to social authorities and were on the run from an HVB home at the time of their arrest in December, according to previous information to TV4 Nyheterna. The first shooting was done at an apartment building on December 28, and a couple of days later they both returned to another address in Gubbängen and there shot at an apartment door. Shot at the wrong door In that apartment lived an elderly man who is not believed to be the intended target – the boys had probably gone up the wrong staircase. Because the man in the apartment was at home, the two perpetrators have been sentenced to attempted murder. The two 15-year-olds are currently placed in Sis home. In addition, a 30-year-old man is sentenced to one year in prison for aiding and abetting serious illegal threats.
