Two people have been shot indoors in a villa in Tullinge south of Stockholm.
Three children were in the home at the time.
– I do not intend to go into the injury situation for these two people, says police spokesperson Daniel Wikdahl.
The police are investigating whether the shooting in Tullinge can be connected to previous crimes in the wave of violence that has hit Stockholm and Uppsala recently.
– We are treating it as part of this gross violence we have seen, even if it is too early to state with certainty that it is so.
Two adults have been injured, but at 6.30 on Friday morning the police cannot say anything about the extent of the damage or what relationship they have to the children who were in the house.
Several children in the home
The children who were in the home at the time are said to have managed without physical injuries.
– Of course we have made sure to get them out of there, they are now taken care of elsewhere.
Police are not commenting on whether anyone has been arrested in the case.
