(TT News Agency/Fredrik Sandberg via Reuters)"Whether this person is a perpetrator or a witness, or someone who has some connection to the incident, it is unclear at this time."Electric scooters have been used several times as a mode of escape after gang conflict shootings in Sweden.Uppsala, some 40 minutes north of the capital, Stockholm, by car, has seen many gang-related shootings in the past decade, but usually outside the city centre.Swedish Justice Minister Gunnar Strommer said the Justice Ministry was in close contact with the police and that it was closely monitoring developments in the case."A brutal act of violence has occurred in central Uppsala … This is at the same time as the whole of Uppsala has begun Walpurgis Night," he said."What has happened is extremely serious."Police said earlier they had received calls from members of the public who heard gunshots in the city centre, and that emergency services had rushed to the scene.Witnesses told SVT they had heard five shots and had seen people in the area running to take cover.Police added that the incident was not linked to the extensive Walpurgis night celebrations expected in Uppsala on Wednesday.ReutersPosted 1h ago1 hours agoWed 30 Apr 2025 at 8:58amShare optionsCopy linkFacebookX (formerly Twitter)Top StoriesErin Patterson's lawyer tells jury mushroom poisoning deaths were 'a terrible accident'Topic:CourtsPhoto shows A close up photo of Erin Patterson looking over her shoulder wearing glases.Is the Voice back?
