A man is seriously injured after a shooting in a Holma yard. According to information from Sydsvenskan, the man was shot several times. During the afternoon and evening, the Malmö police carried out a series of raids, several people were arrested or taken for questioning.
Police and an ambulance were alerted to Hyacintgatan at 9:24 p.m. Thursday night after several people heard one or more shots.
On the spot, the police found an injured man in a courtyard.
According to information from Sydsvenskan, the shot must be a man in his 25s. They shot him outside the door of an apartment building. Witnesses at the scene say they heard four shots.
The man was taken to the hospital by ambulance and has life-threatening injuries, according to the Skåne Region.
According to information from Sydsvenskan, the police already know the man who shot. He is suspected of being involved in an assassination attempt in a gang setting that occurred in Malmö earlier this year.
Around midnight, the police installed a larger barrier in Kroksbäcksskolan, about a hundred meters from the crime scene. According to information from Sydsvenskan, some kind of find has been made at the site that may be related to the shooting.
In addition to Holma, the police were also at the Kroksbäck site with many patrols and searches with dogs. According to information from Sydsvenskan, several people have been detained or taken for questioning after several raids that also took place in other locations in Malmö.
It is unclear how many have been arrested and what suspicions are involved.
– We do not comment on arrests or detentions for questioning as the case is ongoing, said Evelina Olsson, Skåne police press spokeswoman at midnight.
At midnight a major police checkpoint was set up in Kroksbäcksskolan.
At the scene of the shooting, police early blocked the courtyard where the wounded man was found. Door knocks were also carried out in the area.
– It is the place where the injured person was found and the immediate area. He would rather block a larger area than a smaller one so as not to miss a thing, says Rickard Lundqvist, a press spokesman for the Skåne police.
Are there any witnesses?
– The information we obtain is that there are many people in the place, so there are good conditions for someone to have seen something. Then we will see if that is the case.
No one has been arrested.
– I think we have a good knowledge of the different constellations of Malmö and the ongoing conflicts, etc. It is not clear if it is one of those behind it, but that is what we are seeing. If we later know who the plaintiff is, we will have good information about who is behind it. At the same time we speak with witnesses, says Rickard Lundqvist.
The police have launched a preliminary investigation into the assassination attempt.
– The technicians are on site and we are still in the hospital. They are still looking after him, says Evelina Olsson, a police press spokeswoman Thursday night.
It does not mean if someone is a suspect at this time.
– I’m not going into that. The work is still being done, so it is open, says Evelina Olsson.
