A young man with a suspected gunshot wound has been found in the Sätra district in Gävle. No suspect has been arrested.
– It was the public who called in about suspected loud bangs, a suspected shooting in other words. An injured person is found outside, says police spokesperson Magnus Jansson Klarin.
The injured man was taken to hospital by a police patrol.
– Being shot is in itself serious, but I have no information about life-threatening injuries. What I can say is that the person was awake and talkative, says Jansson Klarin.
The location is cordoned off while waiting for technicians and information gathering is underway.
– We are working full time on site. It is a big effort and we have many patrols on site, says Jansson Klarin and adds that the police are very interested in observations that may have been made.
– Since it is early evening and it is light outside, there are many people there and we hope and believe that many have seen and heard something, such as vehicles or people, either before or after.
The incident is being investigated as attempted murder and aggravated weapons offences.
