Swedish government vows crackdown after ‘gangland’ killing of 12-year-old girl
Swedish media say investigators think the gunfire that killed her was intended for two men with ties to a criminal gang.
The Swedish government vowed to find the perpetrators of a drive-by shooting that killed a 12-year-old girl in what authorities said appears to be the latest violence from suburban feuds between criminal gangs fighting over territory.
“If we don’t stop the new recruitment of young people into the criminal circles, harsh measures will not mean anything,” home affairs minister Mikael Damberg told Swedish broadcaster SVT.
