The police received an alarm about suspected shots at 21.38.

On site, however, they had to search for a while before tracks, in the form of empty sleeves, were found.

- Then we understood that it (the alarm) was for real, says police spokesman Johnny Gustavsson.

During the evening, the police also received information from a hospital that a suspected gunshot wounded man had sought care and he is linked to the incident in Gislaved.

The injured person - who is known to the police since before - must have been taken to hospital by a private person and is not said to be life-threateningly injured.
