A man has been shot dead in Bredäng in southern Stockholm. The police were alerted shortly after 11pm on Thursday evening by people who heard gunshots.
– There were several people who called that they heard shots and quite soon we find out that it is a man lying on the ground, says police spokesperson Mats Eriksson.
Medical personnel at the scene determined that the man was dead.
A preliminary investigation into murder has been launched and the police have a large effort in the area to check people and vehicles and to speak to witnesses who may have seen or heard something.
– We have no suspect arrested at the moment, says Eriksson.
He also says that it is still too early to say whether the murder is connected to the recent acts of violence in, among other places, Stockholm.
