'Europe's Chicago': Sweden Outguns Rest of EU in Deadly Shootings
In a matter of 20 years, Sweden has gone from bottom to top in the gloomy statistics on how many people are shot to death per capita each year. The authorities are struggling to explain this morbid development.
Sweden has risen to the very top when it comes to deadly firearm violence in Europe, a new report from the Crime Prevention Council has found.
The report compared lethal shooting violence in Sweden with 22 other European countries over a period of 19 years, between 2000 and 2019, and placed Sweden second in fatal shootings in Europe after only Croatia.
