SVT has spoken to a witness at the scene who heard two shots and saw the shooter flee the scene on an electric scooter. According to the witness, the shot hit the person in the arm.

According to the witness, the person shot was a man in his 20s and the shooter appeared to be the same age. However, police are not releasing the ages of those involved.
