The police were alerted at 11pm on Monday after a serious violent crime had occurred in Hok. At first, the police were very secretive – but during Tuesday morning they announced that a shooting had occurred.
– A man was carried away by the police to the ambulance which was standing some distance away, bleeding profusely, said a witness who SVT spoke to after the incident.
It is a man who is in the age range of 40-49 years according to a press release from the emergency department at Ryhov county hospital in Jönköping. His injuries are considered serious.
Shortly, the prosecutor is expected to make a decision on whether or not the man who is being held should be remanded in custody.
