At least three people died in a shooting in the city center of Uppsala, Sweden, on April 29, 2025.
Police received a report of "loud explosions" near Vaksala Square. The police are investigating the incident as a homicide and are searching for the shooter who fled the scene.
Shootings have increased in Sweden in recent years due to conflicts between criminal gangs. The suspects are getting younger, often hired as hitmen because they are under 15, the age of criminal responsibility in Sweden.
