Two wounded in shooting near mosque in Sweden
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTwo people have been wounded in a shooting near a mosque in the Swedish town of Orebro, police say, with local media reporting one person was shot as he left the mosque.
Police provide no details about the circumstances of the shooting, but urge the public to stay away from the scene as they search for the shooter.
“We are currently actively pursuing the perpetrator or perpetrators,” police spokesman Anders Dahlman tells AFP.
“We are interviewing witnesses and carrying out our technical investigation,” he says.
A police statement online says they have opened a preliminary investigation into attempted murder.
The town of Orebro was home to a school shooting in February in which 11 people were killed, including the perpetrator.
