Near midnight, police reported that a sixth wounded had arrived at the hospital.[4] After midnight, a second wounded person died at the hospital. Tuesday morning a third person died at the hospital.[5] According to the authorities, there are no indications of a terrorist background.[6] A shotgun was used as the murder weapon, according to Aftonbladet.[7]

Three others were injured, including one injured person leaving the scene in a getaway car.[8][9] All six knew each other and were part of crime gangs. The survivors confirmed the incident was part of an ongoing crime gang conflict.[10]
