It was around 18:00 on Sunday that the police received an alarm about loud bangs in the area and shortly afterwards found that shooting had taken place. During the evening, five suspects were arrested.
– The crime classification is attempted murder and aggravated weapons offences. The five men who are in their 20s were arrested during the evening and later detained on the lower level of suspicion, says Rasmus Eriksson, officer on duty at the police region Bergslagen.
Undramatically poignant
The arrest must have been calm and undramatic. During the evening, a crime scene investigation was carried out and the cordons have since been lifted. According to the police, it must have been live ammunition, but for investigation reasons they do not state what type.
– We are still working on investigative measures and will talk to people on site in the area during the day and hope to get more information.
How do you see this happening in a residential area during the early evening?
– We of course take it seriously, but unfortunately it is becoming common. It is fortunate in this context that we were able to quickly arrest a number of suspects, says Eriksson.
