A shooting is likely to have occurred near the site of the Israeli Embassy in Sweden, Stockholm Police determined on Friday, without mention of the diplomatic mission.
A patrol car heard what sounded like gunfire in the area between Nobel Park, the Oscar Church, and Djurgard Bridge, where the Israeli Embassy is located.
Multiple suspects detained
Several people have been detained, and residences have been searched as part of the investigation.
Israeli Ambassador to Sweden Ziv Nevo Kulman said Friday that the embassy was closely following the investigation, and thanked the local authorities for their review of the incident and for enhancing the security measures around the diplomatic mission and the Jewish community.
"Unfortunately, our embassy has already been subject to threats and attacks," said Kulman. "We will not be intimidated by acts of terror."
The Foreign Ministry said Thursday that there were no further updates besides that the Swedish authorities were investigating the incident.
This is a developing story.
