Several people were shot inside a restaurant in the city of Goteborg and at least two of them have died, Swedish police said. Police said in a statement that an automatic weapon is believed to have been used in the shooting. They had no details on any suspects but said several people had been brought in for questioning.
The shooting happened in the Biskopsgarden suburb of Goteborg, Sweden’s second largest city. The neighborhood has a history of gang violence, said police spokeswoman Ulla Brehm. She said it was too early to speculate on the motive but said there were indications that the shooting was gang-related.
“There is absolutely nothing that indicates terrorism,” Brehm said. Brehm said at least two people were killed at the scene and several others taken to a hospital.
