Young school children shot in Sweden – VG

One child must be of primary school age, while the other must be of preschool age. They have been transported to hospital and have no life-threatening injuries, he writes Aftonbladet.

According to information Expressen sitting on, it must have been a five-year-old girl and a six-year-old boy who were hit by the shots.

Sources to Aftonbladet say that the children should not have been the target of the shooting. Another person is said to have been transported to hospital with gunshot wounds, but this has not yet been confirmed.

– Several people have been arrested and will be questioned, says press contact Mats Eriksson in the Stockholm Police.

Nine people charged with attempted murder

He also states that the police have made findings in connection with the shooting.

Aftonbladet writes that a total of nine people have been arrested and charged with attempted murder.

It was Saturday night around 8 pm that the police were notified of a shooting in Visättra in Flemingsberg. Prior to the shooting, several people are said to have witnessed an argument at a bridge in the area.

One person must then have hit another with a pistol – then shots must have been fired.

– I heard a shot. It’s uncomfortable since I have children. You do not dare to let the children play themselves, says a person who lives in the area to Aftonbladet.

Earlier in July was a man shot and killed at a school in Flemingsberg. And in August last year became one twelve year old girl shot and killed when a stray bullet hit her at a McDonald’s restaurant in Norsborg, about 15 minutes away from Flemingsberg.

– Totally ruthless

The shooting episode has shaken Sweden.

– That the violence takes place in an environment where innocent children visit, shows a total indifference and ruthlessness.

This is what Minister of the Interior Mikael Damberg says in a written statement to the news agency TT, writes Aftonbladet.

He goes on to say that his thoughts are with the injured children and their families.

– I want to express my greatest horror and anger over violence that has affected two children in Flemingsberg.

According to the newspaper, the Minister of the Interior was informed that several people had already been arrested in connection with the incident on Saturday.

– Now it is important that the person or persons responsible for this senseless violence are prosecuted. Children should always be able to feel safe in our society, says Damberg.
