A young man was both hit by a moped and shot in Västra Frölunda on Monday evening.
During the morning, two people aged 18 were arrested.
But according to information to GP the victim is also suspected of attempted murder.
At around 11.30pm on Monday evening, loud bangs were heard in a residential area in Västra Frölunda in Gothenburg. A young man had been hit by a moped and then shot in the leg. When the ambulance picked him up, he also had head injuries.
– This person has been hit. The damage to the hood is likely related to the collision, says police spokesperson Fredrik Svedemyr.
Witnesses state for GP that several masked people jumped out of a car to shoot the young man, whose injury status remains unclear.
Two weapons were used
During the night, two 18-year-olds were arrested in connection with the crime scene. The police connect the incident to the gang criminal environments and the police are looking into the involvement of the injured man. According to information to the GP, he is also a suspect.
– There may very well be more detainees in the case. The state of the investigation looks good. But at the same time, it is disgusting that this is happening in public. It is a very nasty development that the public is not taken into account, says Max Olsson, acting local police area manager in Frölunda to GP.
The police are investigating the incident as attempted murder and on Monday morning the men were arrested, one reasonably suspected and the other a probable cause suspect.
– Two different weapons were used in this incident, says Max Olsson.
