In the center of Gavle, Sweden, a shooting occurred, resulting in six people being injured, including several minors. This is reported by SVT, as conveyed by 'Gavle.'


According to the police, the suspect in the case is a 13-year-old boy who was detained near the crime scene and interrogated. The case is classified as attempted murder and a serious crime involving the use of a weapon.


No one among the injured is in critical condition. Four people are being treated in hospitals, and two have already been discharged. The police have not confirmed any links to gang-related activity and do not see a threat to the public, nor do they consider this incident a terrorist act.


Witnesses report that several injured individuals ran into a restaurant where the staff provided assistance.

Shooting in an American School


We also want to mention that in the USA, in the city of Evergreen (Colorado), a shooting occurred at Evergreen High School, resulting in three minors suffering gunshot wounds.



The shootings in Sweden and in the American school remind us once again of the problem of violence and security in society, especially among minors. It is important to focus on issues of gun control and psychological support for children and teenagers to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
