Swedish police said on Thursday they were investigating a shooting near an Israeli target in the city of Gothenburg, which the national broadcaster said was a unit of Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems.
There were no reports of injuries, Reuters quoted police as saying in a statement.
A young suspect was apprehended at the scene and a preliminary investigation into suspected attempted murder and serious weapons crime has been initiated, police added.
The shooting took place near a Swedish unit of Elbit Systems, Swedish public broadcaster SVT reported, citing police.
A police spokesperson declined to comment on the suspected target. Elbit Systems in Sweden did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
