Several criminals from Kristianstad are currently in prison.

The police believe that younger and more violent people see their chance and try to fill the void left by them.

- The vacuum that has been established in society means that we see a behavior with a ruthlessness and a lack of judgment that we have not seen before, says Anders Olofsson, local police area manager in Kristianstad.

After the shooting, three people are being treated in hospital with serious injuries.

The three arrested teenagers are suspected of attempted murder.

"You no longer feel safe"

Several residents that SVT Nyheter Skåne has spoken to express concern about the development in the area.

- It's not as safe anymore.

Those who went there yesterday, they were shot by chance, as I understand it.

So it could have been me, says Mattias.

Antigona Murseli has lived at Gamlegården for ten years.

- You are simply scared.

Now that this has happened, I will not show up in that deal, she says.
