Police said the incident was believed to be an isolated event and not linked to the annual Valborg celebrations expected in the city on Wednesday evening. Valborg is a Swedish bonfire festival marking the arrival of spring.Swedish media reported that one of the deceased had connections to organised gang crime, although police would not confirm those reports.Authorities in Sweden have been struggling to deal with gang violence, which remains at the forefront of a national debate, including growing concerns over the young age of children being caught up in the bloodshed. Guns and explosives are regularly used by rival gangs.Police have appealed to the public for information after a masked person was seen fleeing the crime scene on an electric scooter on Tuesday.Gangs of Stockholm: the rise of gun crime in Sweden - podcastRead moreThe minister of justice, Gunnar Strömmer, condemned the killings as a “brutal act of violence”.Police were first alerted to the incident shortly after 5pm on Tuesday, when they received several phone calls from members of the public about loud bangs. Officials later confirmed that three people were dead.“Quite soon we encountered three people who appeared to have been shot. They did not need to be taken to hospital,” Magnus Jansson Klarin, a spokesperson for Uppsala police, told the Svenska Dagbladet daily newspaper.The Swedish government announced in February that it planned to strengthen its weapons laws after the country’s worst mass shooting, when a gunman killed 10 people at an education centre in Örebro, west of Stockholm, before shooting himself. The man’s motives are still under investigation.Reuters and Agence France-Presse contributed to this reportExplore more on these topicsSwedenEuropenewsShareReuse this content
