European authorities investigate series of violent crimes and gang-related incidents

Police forces across Western Europe are investigating a series of violent incidents, ranging from juvenile gang recruitment to domestic homicides. In Germany, authorities detained a 13-year-old Dutch boy carrying a firearm, suspecting he was hired by a gang linked to rivalry with the Hells Angels following double homicides in Hamburg. Meanwhile, Swedish police continue to report on teenage contract killers utilizing electric scooters to carry out targeted assassinations.

In Spain, Madrid police are investigating the non-fatal shooting of a known gang-affiliated burglar shot five times in Puente de Vallecas, alongside two unrelated homicides of women occurring hours apart. Additionally, French authorities initiated an investigation into an apparent murder-suicide where a father reportedly shot his wife and two young children before killing himself.
