Three people have been killed in a shooting in the Swedish city of Uppsala, police have confirmed.
The shooting took place at a hair salon close to Vaksala Square in the centre of the city, local media reported. The shooter, who fled on a scooter, is still on the run, according to the reports.
Officers have cordoned off a large area and a murder investigation is under way.
The incident happened on the eve of the Walpurgis spring festival, which brings large crowds onto the streets of Uppsala, a city located north of the capital Stockholm, and known for its university.
"Everything happened so fast. It just went bang, bang, bang," a witness told Swedish channel TV4.
Another man said he was cooking at home when he heard "two bangs that sounded a bit like fireworks" going off outside on the street.
He told Swedish television he was "very surprised and scared" and shortly after "swarms of police and ambulances" started blocking off the street and telling people to move back.
A major effort is under way to find the shooter, with a police helicopter joining in the search, police spokesman Magnus Jansson Klarin told TV4.

yaaa...from Sveden
That's some fine urban Dr. Suess.
Ha!
Guess they left “Svoot” at home. Alley snack bar?
😂
So they survived the shooting and got killed after the shooting. Hmm.
Yeah, they must have been hit by a rogue SUV, after the shooting.
a Swedish man, abu mohammed, fled the scene . . .
They should have sung that song. You know how it goes:
Stop! Don’t shoot me there That is my no-no square
Green eggs and Ham
Would you eat them with a shooter?
Would you eat them on a scooter?
“The shooter, who fled on a scooter.”
I noticed that, too; I thought I’d add some mother goose:
“Then he stuck in his thumb, and pulled out his gun,
And said ‘what a good boy am I!’”
And you can’t defend yourself.
The shooter must have been one of those farmers who are allowed to have a shotgun. Those are the only guns in Sweden, don’t’cha know?
Dam Vikings again.
Was the shooter a Muslim, a Muslim, or a Muslim?
Racism made him do it.
Sucks when you’re offed by a guy in a scooter. Not exactly going out in a blaze of glory. I’m hoping a I get run over by an 18 wheeler carrying women’s lingerie, whiskey, guitars, guns, and a 40’ tall statue of Ronald Reagan. Or Chuck Norris, kind of the same really.
