Today, there was a shooting in front of a mosque in Örebro, Sweden. The incident happened immediately after Friday prayers, and two people were shot as they apparently were leaving the mosque. The shooters are still being sought. One victim died, and the other is in the hospital, seriously wounded. Police strongly believe the shooting is gang-related. The dead victim is reportedly a leader in the Oxhagen Network, a gang at war with other gangs in the region. (Note: These are not Swedish gangs.)

The below article from Fria Tider is translated by Fousesquawk. It was posted before the announcement that one of the shooting victims had died.

Shooting at Örebro mosque-Two injured

Posted August 15, 2025 at 15:11

Domestic. Two persons have been injured in connection with a shooting at a mosque in the Vivalla district of Örebro on Friday. Police, who suspect a gang-related motive, are urging the public to stay away from the area. 

According to police, there was a gathering at the mosque when the shots broke out.

“It happened right after Friday prayers,” Mazen Muwaffak of the Örebro mosque tells Expressen.

The two injured were taken by ambulance to the hospital, but their condition is yet unknown.

“We urge the public NOT to approach the location,” police write on their homepage at 14:20.

Police have initiated a preliminary investigation into an attempted murder and are working to secure the crime scene, interview witnesses, and hunt for the perpetrators. Barriers have been set up, and both police and rescue personnel are still at the scene.

Mazen Muwaffak of the Örebro mosque states that the injured are visitors and the motive is unclear.

“We don’t know if it is personal or against the mosque, but it is good that the police are doing their job,” Muwaffak tells Expressen.

However, police suspect that the shooting is gang-related, according to information (provided to)  Aftonbladet. They believe that it is an “isolated incident” and that the mosque itself was not the target.

“It appears to be an isolated incident,” police press spokesperson Lars Hedelin tells Aftonbladet.
