Sweden: Police arrest 3 over deadly hair salon shootings DW 05/02/2025
Briefly

In a tragic incident in Uppsala, three individuals aged 15 to 20 were shot dead at a hair salon. The main suspect, a 16-year-old boy, has been released due to weakening evidence against him. Further arrests include two men aged 25 to 35 for incitement, and another around 20 for murder, as the motive remains unclear. Authorities are investigating potential gang connections with the crime. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson condemned the violence, acknowledging the ongoing issues of gang-related attacks in Sweden.
"During the time of the arrest, suspicions against the 16-year-old individual have weakened. He is no longer a suspect in the crime," lead prosecutor Andreas Nyberg said.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson deplored 'a completely extreme act of violence' that 'almost resembles an execution.'
