A woman has been seriously injured after being shot inside a sports hall in Sweden, Västerbottens-Kuriren reports. The shooting happened on Saturday, according to the newspaper's timestamped report, and the woman's condition was described as serious.
Witnesses told investigators that two people ran into the hall shortly before the shots were fired, according to Omni, which aggregates Swedish news coverage. Svenska Dagbladet's morning report said the shooting occurred while a match was underway.
The reports do not specify the exact location of the hall, the number of shots fired, or whether anyone has been detained. Police have not released further details in the material available.
The incident comes amid heightened attention to gun violence in Sweden, with separate reporting from Aftonbladet describing a police operation in Älvsjö following a shooting incident near a school. That report is a distinct event and is not connected to the sports hall shooting based on the available information.
What to watch next: whether police confirm a suspect or motive, and whether the two people witnesses saw entering the hall are identified.
