Police arrest man in shooting investigation

Swedish police have arrested a 38-year-old man suspected of a series of shootings of people with immigrant backgrounds in southern Sweden.

Investigators say the man, who was not identified, was taken into custody on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.

Police have previously said they believe a lone gunman is responsible for more than a dozen unsolved shootings in which one person died and eight were wounded in the city of Malmo since October last year.
