The incident occurred around 12:30 p.m. local time. Authorities responded swiftly, cordoning off the area and placing nearby schools on lockdown as a precaution. An air ambulance was dispatched to assist the injured.
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson expressed his condolences, stating, “It is a very painful day for all of Sweden.”
