Swedish PM summons army as gang violence rocks nation

STORY: Two people were killed in separate shootings in Stockholm on Wednesday (September 27) and a woman in her 20s, thought to be an innocent bystander, was killed when a bomb tore up a house in Uppsala in the early hours of Thursday.

Kristersson said he had summoned the national police commissioner and the supreme commander of the armed forces to evaluate the options.

Earlier this week, two people were shot dead and two injured when a gunman opened fire at a bar in Sandviken. The 11 shooting deaths this month make September the deadliest month since December 2019.
