The incident occurred during the night between June 2 and 3 last year, when the man in his 60s woke up to what he thought was his cat, according to official sources. When he went down to the hallway, two pistol shots were fired through the front door, the indictment states. The man threw himself on the ground after the shots were fired, official sources said.
Two men, a teenager and a man in his 20s, are now charged for their involvement, with the teenager accused of knocking on the door and then firing two shots through a glass pane in the front door, according to the indictment. The teenager faces charges of aggravated weapons offense, attempted murder, and a minor drug offense, while the man in his 20s is charged with aiding and abetting attempted murder, official sources confirmed. The prosecutor is demanding the deportation of the teenager, but both defendants deny the crimes.
The motive for the shooting remains unclear, and it is unknown what evidence supports the charges against the two men. In police interviews, the man in his 60s stated that he suspects his son, who was registered at the same address, has become involved in crime. The son's mother reported that she has been contacted by people who claimed the son had been threatened by the Kurdish Fox, though the identity or nature of this entity is not specified.
The son is also detained, suspected of a particularly serious drug offense in a case where charges are expected to be filed on April 1 at Gothenburg District Court, according to official sources. The relationship between the son's alleged criminal involvement and the shooting has not been established, and it is unknown who contacted the son's mother about the threat.
