Several people alerted the police about a shooting at half past eight on Monday night.

- Since this happened in a residential area, we received several alarms about shootings and are now on site with several patrols, says police spokesman Johan Thalberg.

A young man in his teens has been taken to hospital with serious injuries, but the injury situation must be stable.

Looking for witnesses

At half past six, the police had no suspects in the shooting, but have cordoned off the site and are working to secure clues and interrogate witnesses.

Several patrols are on site, along with a dog patrol and helicopters circulating in the area.

- We try to get information from people who may have seen something, if not the shooting itself, then maybe something that looked suspicious.

The police have launched a preliminary investigation into attempted murder.
