Gangland wars killing dozens of bystanders, report Swedish police

In Sweden, gangland shootings have resulted in the deaths of 23 innocent bystanders and injuries to 30 others over the past three years. The victims include people hit by stray bullets, cases of mistaken identity, and relatives of targeted gang members. Many shooters are young and inexperienced, increasing the risk of harm to third parties. Swedish gangs often recruit teens under 15, who cannot be prosecuted, to carry out crimes using social media and encrypted apps.
