The district court acquitted the 25-year-old man who was charged with being the one holding the weapon that was fired and injured two small children in Visättra in Flemingsberg this summer.
The prosecutor has now appealed the verdict to the Court of Appeal and demands that the man be convicted according to the indictment, ie for aggravated assault, causing bodily injury - aggravated crime and aggravated weapon crime.
The shooting took place at around 8 pm in the Visättra residential area in Flemingsberg.
On a footbridge, a suspicious gang settlement was going on between several men in their 25s and 30s, and a shot went off when a pistol was used as a shelter.
The children, six and seven years old, were hit in the legs but the injuries were not life-threatening and are not considered to have caused any lasting physical damage.
Convicts want milder punishment
In the case, two other men are sentenced to one and a half years in prison for aggravated assault, and a fourth, who was the one who was beaten, to imprisonment for one year for aggravated weapon crime, when it was established that he had a weapon with him.
The three who were convicted in the district court have also appealed and want the charges against them to be dismissed or for the sentences to be reduced.
