There is an arrest in yesterday's shooting in the center of Uppsala, Sweden. A young man was arrested after an hours-long manhunt but the police are keeping quiet about the details of the firearm used and the circumstances . The victims are three people, all between the ages of 15 and 20.
"At this time we cannot yet establish a clear connection with organized crime," said Erik Åkerlund, chief of police in Uppsala, not ruling out the gang trail . However, it is an isolated incident, according to the police.
Yesterday at 17:04 the alarm was raised with many reports of gunshots heard in the town 70 km north of Stockholm . Rescue workers and the police intervened on the scene and, according to several witnesses, three ambulances drove away with sirens blaring. A large area around the crime scene was cordoned off while in the evening a major manhunt was still underway with the help of a helicopter, drones and several dog units, which ended a few hours ago.
The search was made even more difficult by Walpurgis Eve, a Swedish holiday particularly felt in the university city of Uppsala that annually turns into a huge student festival.
