We received calls from several people at half past seven this morning stating that they had heard gunshots and there was also information that one person was shot, police spokesman Per Fahlström told TT.
Were there many people at the scene?
I can't answer exactly how many, but we are questioning people who have been in the vicinity.
The man - who was taken to hospital with "very serious injuries" - was found in or near a car. Pictures show bullet holes in the car window.
"We have initiated a preliminary investigation with the classification of attempted murder," says Fahlström.
A large area has been cordoned off and the police have launched a major operation to search for one or more perpetrators. Cameras are being inventoried and, according to Fahlström, door-knocking will also begin.
The shooting is the sixth in Sweden in less than two weeks. Four young men have been killed in the shootings.
