The shot woman works with young people in Stockholm municipality

When the shooting happened, hundreds of young people were inside the Kämpetorpshallarna. Both a floorball match and Hammarby football's youth initiative Spontanfotboll, which is arranged together with local leisure parks, were taking place at the site.

- It is a very important activity for employing young people. An event like this has a direct impact on the local community, says Lee Orberson.

Hammarby Fotboll writes in a press release that the club's thoughts go out to the affected woman and her relatives.

The club's representatives were on site during Friday evening to ensure the well-being of the young people and are cooperating with all authorities, they write.

Two suspects in the shooting

The woman, who is in her 25s, was shot on the upper floor of the sports facility where fewer people were at the time. On Saturday morning, two boys in their early teens were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

Lee Orberson says that it is important that the police's investigative work is now allowed to proceed.

- We focus on our internal crisis management for our employees and we have brought in external crisis support for the children and young people who were in the area, he says.

Crisis support for children and young people

The district's crisis organization was immediately activated when the shooting became known, he says.

During Saturday, Stockholm City strengthened its presence in Älvsjö. Fritidsgården Ungdomens hus is open until 10 p.m. this evening for the public, children and young people who want to talk about what happened.

There will also be a reinforcement of police and field workers in the area.

- We also have crisis support staff on site outside where the shooting took place to be able to capture concerns, says Lee Orberson.
