Actual target taken in for questioning • Man found injured in a restaurant
A man was found injured in a restaurant at Kattarpstorget in Malmö after a shooting.
The man was treated on the spot by paramedics, and was then taken to hospital.
According to information given to TV4 Nyheterna, the police are working on the basis of the thesis that it may be a mistaken shooting.
The alarm reached the police at 17:10 on Monday afternoon after calls from the public.
– Several people have heard of loud bangs at Kattarpstorget, says police spokesperson Patrik Fors.
When the police arrived at the scene, an injured man was found inside a restaurant at the square. The man was first treated on site and later taken to hospital by ambulance.
The police thesis: The wrong person was shot
The place was cordoned off and the police are now looking for at least one perpetrator. According to information to TV4 Nyheterna, a young man has been detained and taken in for questioning.
According to the same information, the police are working on the theory that it may be a mistaken shooting, and that the person who was taken in for questioning was the actual target. He is already known to the police.
South Sweden have spoken to a couple who were at the restaurant with their young daughter when the shooting occurred.
– We were eating when a young man came in and called for help. At first I didn’t understand what had happened, but when he collapsed on the floor, the staff opened his jacket and we saw that he was injured, the woman told the newspaper.
– It is such an incredible shame that this is happening in Malmö, it is very sad, says the man in the couple.
