Five shootings have occurred in Sweden since the weekend, three of them fatal. The incidents took place in Örebro, the Stockholm area, and Malmö. Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer described them as horrific acts of violence.
Following this week's deadly shootings in Stockholm, police are working to prevent a new spiral of violence. Two boys in their upper teens were shot dead in Vårby gård and Tyresö, while a man was wounded in Frösunda. A 15-year-old girl has been remanded in custody suspected of murder in Vårby gård and another murder in Malmö.

According to the latest statistics, no person has been shot dead in Sweden during January 2026. This marks the first month without a fatal shooting in almost eight years, since March 2018. Last year's 44 deaths from shootings highlight the contrast.
