Three Killed in Uppsala Hair Salon Shooting

Three people were killed and several others injured in a shooting at a hair salon in central Uppsala, Sweden, on Tuesday. The suspected shooter reportedly fled the scene on an electric scooter, prompting a large police response and an ongoing manhunt. While police have not confirmed a motive, local media suggest possible links to ongoing gang conflicts, which have increasingly affected Sweden. Authorities have launched a murder investigation, cordoned off the area, and are conducting interviews and forensic work, but no arrests have been made. Officials stated the incident appears isolated, with no evidence of terrorism or hate crime, and it is not connected to the Walpurgis Night celebrations. The attack has heightened public concern about rising gun violence in Sweden.
