Later local media reports said that one person was killed, but there was no official confirmation of the death. As per initial reports, the Swedish Police confirmed that at least two people were injured in the shooting, and a manhunt is on for the attacker. The shooting incident came to light after a call regarding the incident came in at 1:45 pm local time.
Rescue services and an ambulance have also been called to the scene. Furthermore, the police have classified the shooting incident as “attempted murder”.
Both victims were taken to hospital, a police spokesperson said, but declined to comment on the extent of their injuries.
