Three people have been killed in a shooting in the Swedish city of Uppsala, local police have said.
In an earlier statement, the police said they received calls from members of the public who heard noises that sounded like gunshots being fired in the city centre.
Police said they have cordoned off a large area and begun an investigation.
There was no immediate indication of motive, and the police statement did not provide details about a suspected perpetrator.
