Stockholm police are investigating three separate shootings that occurred over three consecutive days in the Stockholm metropolitan area in late March 2026. According to police statements, there is currently no evidence connecting the incidents. The first shooting occurred on Monday in Vårby Gård, Huddinge, where a teenage boy was killed near a football field.
No arrests have been made in that case. The following day, a 45-year-old man was injured in a shooting in Frösunda, Solna, and one person has been detained in connection with that incident. A third shooting occurred in Tyresö, where another person was seriously injured.
Shootings have gone down but we know at the same time that crime is not over
Deputy Police Area Chief Magnus Mowitz stated that while shootings have decreased compared to the previous year, criminal activity continues. 'Shootings have gone down but we know at the same time that crime is not over,' Mowitz said in a statement. Police describe the conflict situation in Stockholm's criminal environments as less clear than before, with greater uncertainty about which individuals are connected to which gangs and the motives behind the crimes.
Authorities are warning parents about digital platforms where criminals recruit young people for serious violent crimes.
