Once again, children were hit in Sweden by criminal gangs shooting at each other in broad daylight. The Social Democratic government is trying to curb organized crime by preventing and tightening penalties. Crime indicators are becoming increasingly worrying in the Scandinavian country, and the situation of police officers needs to be addressed.
On July 17, a five-year-old girl and a six-year-old boy were accidentally shot by gang members attacking each other in a southern suburb of Stockholm called Flemingsberg. Fortunately, the two children survived, but what happened shook the public. EU Observer recalled that although crime rates are generally low in Sweden, clashes between gangs are still a growing concern, with innocent passers-by also falling victim to the fighting.
Last year, a 12-year-old girl was the victim of a shooting on the outskirts of Stockholm; three people have just been charged in recent days.
Interior Minister Mikael Damberg told the TT news agency regarding the recent shooting that the gangs show no empathy. As he said, this is not something that Swedes should get used to – he understands that people are angry and afraid.
The Economist recalled that at the end of May, about a hundred young men, mostly Africans and Middle Easterners, clashed on the outskirts of Gothenburg in the Hjällbo suburb. The clash of rival gangs was caused by a stolen moped. Two days later, a man was shot in the back of the head at a nearby store, probably in retribution. Then, in another suburb, Biskopsgården, a policeman was shot dead.
