Swedish police arrest minors over school shooting, planned bombing and blast

Swedish police have detained several minors in connection with a shooting in Södertälje, a thwarted gang bombing in Stockholm, and a blast in Bunkeflostrand.
Swedish law enforcement has detained several juveniles following a string of violent crimes and foiled gang plots across the country.
In Södertälje's Ronna district, emergency personnel discovered an injured minor near a school on Monday evening. Three suspects were detained, including two under the age of 15 accused of attempted murder and complicity. Police have been reviewing security camera recordings and interviewing witnesses to determine the circumstances.
Meanwhile, officers detained a young boy who was reportedly recruited by criminal networks to execute a bombing in Stockholm, acting after a school in another region alerted authorities. In a separate incident in Bunkeflostrand, investigators suspect two teenagers of carrying out an explosion that reportedly targeted a social media creator.
