Two teenagers have been arrested in connection with a shooting incident in Hovsjö, Södertälje, which occurred on Tuesday evening.

The suspects, both under 18 but of legal age, face charges of attempted murder and serious weapons offenses.

Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots, and one person was taken to the hospital with unclear injuries.

This incident is part of a troubling trend of violence in the area, with several violent acts reported in recent days, including shootings and an explosion at a local store.

Local police had previously established a security zone due to escalating gang violence but lifted it just days before the latest shooting.

Authorities are now considering reinstating the security measures as tensions remain high in the community.
