The shooting happened in the middle of the day on November 18 when a man was injured after being hit by multiple shots inside a restaurant at the mall. The suspected shooter, who is under 15 and on the run from an HVB home, was arrested later that day.
– The perpetrator is from a city in western Sweden, and those who were arrested today are from the same city. But I don’t want to go into exactly what their help amounted to. says Lukas Tigerstrand, chamber prosecutor.
The teenagers from Uddevalla were arrested on suspicion of aiding and abetting attempted murder. Three of the boys are also suspected of involving a minor in crime.
Suspected shooter 14 years
Since before, another person from the Stockholm area is in custody for aiding and abetting attempted murder. As the suspected shooter is 14 years old, he will not be sentenced in the case.
The investigation has established what the motive may be for the shooting.
– We have an idea of what it could be about, but before it falls more into place, we don’t want to go out with it, says prosecutor Lukas Tigerstrand.
