#1 Sweden Hit Hard
In the city of Malmo a gunman opened fire on a crowd in a shopping center, injuring at least 4. He sped off, and police are still trying to lock down the area.
#2 The Details Are Still Coming Out
The details are still extremely vague. A manhunt is underway, and when Swedish police catch this suspect, more will be known.
#3 Possible Gang Activity
The shooting was carried out by individuals in an Audi. Witnesses say they heard bursts of three shots, suggesting some kind of semi-automatic or fully automatic weapons were used.
#4 This Comes Just Days After An Important Announcement
This comes just days after Swedish police announced they were going to start deporting 40,000 immigrants that had been convicted of various crimes. Malmo has a huge immigrant population, so could this be a reaction to Sweden's tougher stance on immigrants who break their laws?
#5 Extremism Is Suspected
Two hours later, a bomb was reported just a short distance from where the shooting took place. This leads Swedish police to suspect that their city is being targeted by extremists.
#6 Is ISIS Involved?
ISIS could very well be involved, but of course the authorities are dismissing that possibility. The neighborhood where this attack took place is a predominantly Muslim immigrant area.
