2 injured in Gang-related shooting in Sweden

Xinhua, February 8, 2015 Adjust font size:

Police have confirmed that two men shot in Sweden's second-largest city Gothenburg late on Saturday are members of one of the city's gangs.

Police were called to the incident after one of the men alerted staff at a nearby petrol station.

One had been shot in the head and both were taken to Sahlgrenska University Hospital, where they remained on Sunday.

"Their condition is serious, but stable," police spokesman Christer Fuxborg said.

There are no suspects at the moment, but police are examining a BMW that was abandoned nearby after the incident and interviewing witnesses.

Last year, 51 shootings were reported in Gothenburg. Four people died and 21 were injured in the shootings. Endit
