Swedish police have arrested a teenager after a fatal triple shooting in the city of Uppsala on Tuesday.
The shooter reportedly fled on a scooter following the attack in a hair salon in the centre of the city, triggering a manhunt.
Police confirmed on Wednesday that the person arrested for the shooting is under the age of 18.
All three victims were aged between 15 and 20 years old, Swedish police told a news conference, though the region's chief of police Erik Åkerlund said their identities have not been "100%" confirmed.
Police are investigating the possibility the deaths are related to gang crime, Swedish media reported.
