Tragedy in Uppsala: three people died as a result of shooting in the city center
On the evening of April 29, residents of the Swedish city of Uppsala witnessed a tragic incident. Shots were fired in the area of Vaksala Square, as reported on the official website of the Swedish police.
"Several people were found with injuries resembling gunshot wounds. [...] The deaths of three people as a result of the shooting have been confirmed," the statement says.
Law enforcement agencies are now actively working to establish the identities of the deceased and are investigating all the circumstances of this shocking incident.
Recall that in February of this year, Sweden was shocked by a shooting at Campus Risbergska school in the city of Örebro, located approximately 200 kilometers from Stockholm. According to journalists, the 35-year-old shooter had an official weapons license. It is known that eight years ago he changed his surname, the reasons for which relatives could not explain.
Notably, in recent years, the man had almost completely severed contact with his family - he did not maintain relationships with either his parents or his brothers and sisters.
