"We have witnesses who say other things. There is a lot of different information. Until we interview everyone, we cannot go into the details of what they said," Calle Persson, a representative of the local police, said.
Earlier, the SOS Alarm emergency service confirmed to SVT Nyheter that three people had been hospitalized, without providing any information about their condition.
The Ribersborg neighborhood, where the shooting occurred, has been cordoned off, with criminal experts working at the scene of the crime.
