Police discovered a weapon in bushes during their investigation of a fatal shooting in Gävle. The incident occurred Saturday evening in Stenebergsparken in the Brynäs district. One man died from gunshot wounds while another person sustained injuries.
Officers arrested a suspect overnight who now faces murder and attempted murder charges. On Sunday afternoon, police cordoned off a new area near the crime scene. Local reporters observed the weapon discovery.
Authorities confirmed the new cordoned area connects to the ongoing murder investigation in Brynäs. Police declined to comment on the specific item found during their search. Gävle, located about 100 miles north of Stockholm, is a coastal city known for its annual giant straw goat display.
The quick weapon recovery suggests police are making progress in their investigation. Finding evidence so close to the crime scene typically indicates either hasty disposal or planned concealment.
Investigators continue working at the scene while forensic teams examine the recovered weapon. The case has drawn attention in this normally quiet Swedish city.
