Two people have been shot dead in Gothenburg, Sweden. They were a man aged around 25 and a man aged between 30 and 40.

Witnesses had seen one person running away from the scene. A car was confiscated.

Commentators suspected a connection with the rampant gang violence in Sweden. This is essentially about the lucrative drugs business. Time and again, fatal shots are fired, mainly at young men and teenagers with an immigrant background.
