Young Man Arrested Following Malmö Shooting That Left Two Injured

On the evening of February 10, 2026, a shooting occurred in the Jägersro Villastad residential area of Malmö at 20:39, resulting in injuries to two men. According to police spokespersons Nils Norling and Filip Annas, a man in his 20s was taken into custody later that night, arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

The shooting left a 20-year-old man seriously injured and a 55-year-old man with minor injuries. Both victims were hospitalized and are reported to be in stable condition. There was initial confusion about a third injured individual, but police clarified that only two men sustained gunshot wounds, with the third person’s light injuries unrelated to gunfire.

The suspect was apprehended near a taxi shortly after the incident. Authorities have noted that the victims had previously faced threats and had been the target of earlier attacks. Additionally, the address where the shooting occurred had a history of violent incidents, including a serious arson case and the presence of explosive materials. In response to these earlier events, surveillance cameras were installed in the area, and footage of the shooting was captured, according to police statements, though further details were not disclosed.

After the shooting, police cordoned off several villas in the neighborhood and conducted searches with the help of dogs. The investigation remained active overnight and into the next morning, with evidence collected and the crime scene cleared by 6:30 AM on February 11.

This incident has raised concerns about the ongoing security issues in the area, prompting police to intensify their efforts to prevent further violence. The arrested man is not a local resident, and the authorities continue to examine connections between this shooting and previous threats to the victims.

The community is awaiting further updates as police proceed with their investigation, seeking to understand the motive and prevent any recurrence of violence in Jägersro Villastad.
