Three Killed in Uppsala Hair Salon Shooting

At least three people were killed and several others injured in a mass shooting near Vaksala Square in central Uppsala, Sweden, on Tuesday, according to police and media reports. The attack occurred at or near a hair salon on the eve of the Walpurgis spring festival, drawing a significant emergency response and police cordon. Authorities discovered victims with gunshot wounds following reports of loud bangs. The motive for the attack remains unclear, and the suspect is reported to have fled the scene on an electric scooter. This incident comes after a fatal shooting in Örebro in February, which led the Swedish government to announce plans for stricter gun control amid rising gang violence concerns. The investigation is ongoing as authorities seek further information.
