The location around the synagogue in Stockholm is blocked off due to an increased threat picture after the deed in German Halle today when two people were shot dead. People on site at the synagogue in Stockholm verify this image for SVT's employees.

SVT Stockholm seeks police before comment.

It was at lunch on Wednesday that at least one armed perpetrator opened fire as he tried to enter a synagogue in Germany. One person has been arrested and several suspects are being chased by the police.
