Man shot dead at Lund Central Station

On Tuesday evening, travelers at the central station in the university city of Lund were shaken by gang violence when several shots were fired. A man in his 30s was shot dead at the scene, and the police have arrested a teenage boy suspected of the murder.

At 6:24 pm, the police received a report of gunfire at the train station. A man with gunshot wounds was found at the scene, and shortly after 8 pm, authorities confirmed that he had died from his injuries.

Witnesses at Lund Central Station have told Sydsvenskan about three to four shots.

– I got terribly scared, so I ran. Then I heard someone screaming, said Karin, who was at the station.

A police patrol has arrested a 17-year-old boy near the crime scene. The shooting is being investigated as a murder.

Prime Minister: “Domestic terrorism”

Over the past day, several bombings have shaken southern Stockholm. Apartment buildings and premises in Bagarmossen, Blåsut, Kärrtorp, and Årstaberg have been targeted by the gangs.

During the night to Tuesday, a bomb also exploded in Helsingborg. Furthermore, the police were alerted to a shooting in Sundbyberg in western Stockholm. It has recently been reported that Sweden has been hit by 30 bombings since New Year’s Day – in other words, in 28 days.

On Tuesday evening, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) commented on the gang violence erupting on the streets and in residential areas. Kristersson referred to gang violence as “domestic terrorism” and promised that society will stop the gangs.

He also announced that Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer (M) has called for a meeting with the council against organized crime.

– The criminal gangs display total indifference to the public. This is domestic terrorism that we must combat with the collective strength of society, said the leader of the Moderate Party to Aftonbladet.
