Swedish police hunt serial shooter

[Gerald]

Stockholm, Sweden (CNN) -- A suspected serial shooter is keeping a city in southern Sweden on edge.

Police say as many as 15 shootings in Malmo over the last year may be linked to a single perpetrator who is targeting immigrants living in the city. Investigators have no suspects.

The shootings have all been well planned, under the protection of darkness and at places familiar to the shooter, according to CNN's Swedish affiliate TV4, citing police.

Several of the shootings have occurred in recent weeks, police say.

On Thursday evening, two immigrant women were wounded when shot through their apartment window.

Not a very good article, missing facts and substance, well as one would expect from CNN.
New shootings appeared at the weekend:
http://www.thelocal.se/29824/20101026/
a brief summary:
- Police claims that the shooter is involved in 19 shootinmgs.
- One dead, 8 wounded.
- the shooter alledgedly uses a handgun - ok it's better to conceal, but what about the range?
- (ex-) gang members claim to hunt the shooter http://www.thelocal.se/29816/20101025/

Read in the local paper today that the Police may have found the shooters DNA.

People are afraid it will turn out into a new *Laserman*
most say it has.

That there would be a new "Laserman" is something that the media has said, which is regrettable and under current circumstances, are the police when some have secured some tracks and in the throes of internal and external search for local police and also (RPS) or national police.

Interesting background about he laserman, didn't know that he was also an immigrant . This happens when you let in criminal scum like the Germans and the Swiss!

In the case of 'Laser Man, he had a different approach taken, and a studied attitude, force people who were not native-born citizen and had a purpose to really go all the way out, as it is happening now is not the same character, but Of course, equally serious.

Although the laserman was born in Sweden, his parents were immigrants. That's what makes him slighly insane - like Jackie Arklöv, who wasn't even born in Sweden.

True! Jackie Arklöv one of the three who killed two policemen 28 May 1999, in Malexander (to death at close range with his own service weapon) but YES sitting on life's time just as another one of the three

[Penguin]

Though Arklöv may already get out in two years : http://svt.se/2.22620/1.2186902/arkl..._fri_om_tva_ar (note to english speakers: swedish article only)

In theory, it may be so, but in my eyes and knowing it will not be so, he will not be pardoned by the government

(CNN) -- The person behind a string of unsolved shootings in Malmo, Sweden, is probably a man between 20 and 40 years old who gets around on a bicycle and knows the city reasonably well, police said Tuesday.

"What triggers him is the actual shooting -- he doesn't want to play 'cat and mouse' with us. He wants to get away," criminal investigator Per Lidehall said at a news conference Tuesday, according to CNN's Swedish affiliate TV4.Up to 100 officers are now involved in the hunt for the gunman, TV4 reported.

The suspect may be responsible for as many as 19 shootings targeting immigrants, police believe. One person has been killed in the string of shootings and eight have been wounded.

Malmo has been hit by yet another shooting.
Three teenage girls who had been heard and acted on Friday night three shots at Bennett road.
In a bush, they saw a man - with a weapon.The incident was notified, however, only on Saturday.They should then have seen an unknown guy run past, heard three shots and then saw a person standing inside a bush with a gun in his hand.
The shots will be fired at 10-15 feet away, but none of the girls were injured. They should not have felt threatened.
That shot is clear, however it is not known if anyone was hit.
The police have made technological discoveries at the site but would not comment on what this is. The police also claim that it is too previously had to say about Friday night's shootings could be linked to the previously unexplained bouts.
