A 25-year-old man was shot dead after leaving a mosque in Orebro, Sweden. Another man in his 20s was injured in the incident. Local police are investigating the shooting, and it is believed to be linked to organized crime rather than the mosque itself. Authorities have reported ongoing issues with armed gangs in Sweden, particularly in disadvantaged immigrant neighborhoods. Orebro had a prior high-profile shooting incident this year, marking one of the deadliest in Swedish history, further highlighting the crime issues in the region.
"We are speaking to eye witnesses," a police spokesman said, adding that officers were looking for the "culprit or culprits." This incident connected to organized crime.
"I want to stress that currently, we don't see any connection to the mosque," said the police spokesman. "On the other hand, we do see a connection to criminal groups."
Swedish authorities have been battling against armed criminal gangs for several years now. Criminal gangs often recruit teenagers in socially disadvantaged immigrant neighborhoods to carry out hits.
Orebro made headlines earlier this year when a 35-year-old forced his way into an adult education center and shot dead ten people before turning his weapon on himself.
