A shooting during Friday prayers at a mosque in Örebro, Sweden, left one man dead and another injured. Police confirmed the deceased as a 25-year-old male and classified the incident as “attempted murder” linked to gang activity, though not directly targeting the mosque. The attack occurred around 1:45 p.m. local time, prompting a large-scale manhunt, with forest areas near the mosque cordoned off. Authorities are investigating whether multiple suspects were involved and probing connections to criminal networks. The mosque has been closed for the evening, urging members to pray at home. This marks Örebro’s second major shooting incident this year. (PC: HT)
