Three people died in a fatal shooting in Uppsala, Sweden, on Tuesday, prompting local authorities to open a murder investigation. Police confirmed the incident occurred in the central Swedish city but provided no immediate details about suspects or motives.
Uppsala Police Chief Linda Hiltunen stated, "We are working intensively to secure the area and gather evidence." Residents were advised to avoid the vicinity while forensic teams combed the scene.
While Sweden has seen heightened public debate over gang-related violence in recent years, Uppsala has historically reported lower crime rates compared to larger cities like Stockholm. Analysts suggest the incident may reignite discussions about public safety strategies ahead of upcoming municipal elections.
