According to police, at least three people have been killed in a shooting in Uppsala, Sweden.
About 60 kilometers (37 miles) north of Stockholm, police said in a statement that they had received calls from people who reported hearing gunshot-sounded noises near Vaksala Square.
A murder investigation has been launched, according to the police, and emergency services are present.
The suspect had fled on a scooter, according to Sweden’s public television station SVT.
There is still no clear cause for the shooting, and there is no known motive.
Additionally, no further information was provided about the alleged perpetrator.
More than a decade of gang-related violence has become a common occurrence in the Nordic nation, which includes an epidemic of gun violence.
In 2022, a right-wing minority government took control of the country with a pledge to combat gang-related violence.
In the most notorious mass shooting ever, a 35-year-old unemployed loner opened fire on students and teachers at an adult education center in the city of Orebro in February, killing 10 people.
