LAST UPDATE | 20 Aug 2022
THE MAN WHO died in a shooting at a shopping centre in Sweden was the target of the attack, police have said.
A man and a woman were wounded in a shooting at a mall in the southern city of Malmo yesterday, with the man eventually succumbing to his injuries and the woman hospitalised.
The chief of Malmo police, Petra Stenkula, told a press conference today: “Actually, everything leads us to believe that this man was the target of this execution.”
Police have said that they have arrested the 15-year-old suspected shooter. The woman victim, who was in serious condition, was thought to have been a passerby.
Police consider the shooting to be “an isolated criminal incident” and have excluded any terror links.
In July, three people were killed in a shooting in a shopping mall in the Danish capital of Copenhagen, around 30 kilometres (18 miles) from Malmo.
