The two teenage boys fired several shots at an apartment door. Now they are being sentenced for serious weapons offences, Upsala Nya Tidning reports.
It was an early morning in September last year that the neighbors in an apartment building in central Uppsala woke up to the sound of gunshots. No one was physically injured, but four shots went through the door and into the apartment where two people were at the time.
According to the investigation, the perpetrators probably shot at the wrong door. In another apartment in the stairwell in question live relatives of the so-called Kurdish fox, who has been singled out as one of the driving figures behind the wave of violence that hit Stockholm last winter.
One of the convicts, a 17-year-old boy, has admitted that he shot at the door but has not wanted to say who gave him the assignment. The other, who was also 17 at the time, denied any crime and has not answered any questions.
If they had been of legal age when the crime was committed, the sentence would have been four to five years in prison, the district court writes. Now the punishment instead lands in closed youth care for 13 months for the 17-year-old and one year for the 18-year-old.
Another person, a 35-year-old man, is sentenced despite his denial to one year and ten months in prison for aiding and abetting serious weapons crime.
