Overview

  • A shooting near a mosque in Örebro during Friday prayers left one man dead and another wounded.
  • Swedish police have launched a manhunt for the fleeing suspect and opened an attempted-murder investigation.
  • Investigators are examining possible connections to organized gangs and say the mosque itself was not a specific target.
  • Earlier in North Rhine-Westphalia’s Alsdorf, two men broke into a beverage market and stole two empty 50-liter beer kegs.
  • Aachener police K9 teams tracked the suspects to nearby bushes, seized their vehicle, plates and kegs, and detained both men, with one treated for a minor dog bite.
