Shooting in a parking garage in Malmö – one man shot

On Tuesday evening, an alarm was received from several callers at 22.50 that they had heard suspicious gunfire in a parking garage in Malmö, and several had seen a man shot in a car.

When the police arrived at the scene, they could ascertain that it was true, a man in his 30s was found shot in a car inside a parking garage in eastern Malmö.

– We have cordoned off the area, are interrogating witnesses, have dogs searching the area and examining the footage from the surveillance cameras that are on site, says Rickard Lundqvist, the police’s press officer at Police Region South.

One or more perpetrators must have fled the scene. The police have not yet arrested anyone.

If the incident has anything to do with previous acts of violence, the police do not yet want to comment.

– It is far too early to say why this has occurred, but we are of course open to everything. We continue to work during the night to investigate what has happened, says Rickard Lundqvist.

The police begin a preliminary investigation into attempted murder.
