It was around 9:45 p.m. that several people contacted the police after hearing loud bangs in the area. A large police operation is underway and findings at the scene strengthen the suspicions that shots have been fired.
– We have found a person who is believed to be the plaintiff, but we have not found any injured person, says Thomas Bertze.
Great effort on site
A preliminary investigation into attempted murder has been launched and there is a large police effort on site. An outdoor area is cordoned off.
– A number of investigative measures are now underway where we are trying to clarify what has happened.
There are currently no suspects and no one is in custody.
Police will have a heavy presence in the area now.
– There will be full activity there as long as we have investigation measures to carry out, says Thomas Bertze.
Grenade was found yesterday
During Saturday, a sharp hand grenade was found in the same area in Uppsala. The national bomb protection was alerted to the scene and residents had to be housed.
The hand grenade was later defused on the spot.
Sunday’s suspected shooting occurred in the same residential area.
– Both are in the residential area of Gottsunda, but it is not exactly the same place. We can see if there is a connection.
