Sweden: Two wounded from shots near the mosque in the mountain

Disruption prevails in southern Sweden, as an armed attack near a mosque in the city of about 200 km west of Stockholm resulted in the injury of two people. Police have already launched a manhunt to identify and arrest the perpetrator, while investigations are ongoing. According to the official announcement of the authorities, a preliminary investigation into an attempted murder is being conducted, with the case entrusted with a special section of the Police. SVT public television, citing eyewitness, reported that the shots were heard shortly after Friday’s prayer was completed. Authorities have not yet released more information on the health status of the injured or the motives of the perpetrator. This new incident awakens memories of a recent, tragic event that had shocked the same city last February, when ten students and teachers died in an armed attack on the most deadly weapon attack in the country’s history.
