A few years ago, the shootings often took place in remote places - today it looks different.
Anders Olofsson, head of the local police area Kristianstad, states that more and more shootings occur in public environments, which also increases the risk of innocent people being injured.
- It is completely unacceptable, he says.
Three teenagers are arrested after Tuesday's shooting at Gamlegården's center in Kristianstad.
They are reasonably suspected of attempted murder.
Three people were seriously injured in the act.
