We received several calls about loud bangs and it turns out that someone was shot and life-saving efforts were initiated on the injured person, says the police's press spokesperson Christian Brattgård, to TT.
The shot man has been taken to hospital, but it is still unclear how badly injured he is. An investigation into attempted murder and serious weapons offenses has been initiated.
A suspect was quickly arrested on the spot and the police are now hunting for any additional perpetrators.
We must ensure that there are no more perpetrators, regardless of what witness statements say. We must be certain that there is no one else in the area who is hiding or has weapons, Christian Brattgård.
The shopping center was evacuated after several alarms about loud bangs at around 3 pm on Sunday.
Kungsbacka Municipality has activated its crisis support for the public at the town hall. According to the Municipal Council Chairman Lisa Andersson (M), the support will be in place as long as it is deemed necessary.
There were many people on site and in the vicinity, especially many young people. Then there is a great need to talk and gather. You need support and relief after experiencing such an event, she says.
The municipality has also called in a duty officer and a communicator to be accessible and able to inform about the situation.
It's easy for rumors to spread, and that's also something you need to work with, says Lisa Andersson.
