The shooting happened in an area of the city with a history of gang-related violence, police spokeswoman Ulla Brehm said. She said it was too early to speculate on the motive but said there were indications that the shooting was gang-related.
“There is absolutely nothing that indicates terrorism,” Brehm said.
One witness told Swedish broadcaster SVT that two men entered the restaurant and started shooting with automatic weapons.
“I didn’t have a chance to think about what happened. Then I saw that my friend was bleeding. I tried to stop the bleeding as good as I could with my hand,” said the witness, who didn’t give his name.
