Twice as many shootings, twice as many gunshot wounds — there are so many ways to double your pleasure in Modern Multicultural Sweden. Especially when automatic weapons are involved.

| 00:45 | The public is exposed to a higher risk of being shot | |
| 00:51 | during criminal confrontations, according to a research. | |
| 00:56 | The reason is a major increase in the number of shootings in public spaces, | |
| 00:59 | and the number of shots fired each time has doubled. | |
| 01:04 | This is a video circulated on the internet. | |
| 01:08 | It shows somebody shooting by a automatic rifle from a car. | |
| 01:14 | No one was reported injured in this specific incident. | |
| 01:18 | However, automatic weapons are used more often, | |
| 01:21 | and more shots are fired during conflicts among criminal networks. | |
| 01:26 | For starters, we see an increase in the number of murders and attempted murders | |
| 01:29 | in criminal environments in Stockholm. | |
| 01:32 | We also see an escalation of brutality and violence. | |
| 01:35 | Joakim Sturup, a criminologist, has examined cases | |
| 01:39 | of murder and attempted murder in Stockholm between 2011 and 2018. | |
| 01:44 | During this period of time, the number of cases in which automatic weapons were used | |
| 01:47 | has increased by 50%. During the same period of time | |
| 01:50 | we also see an increase in the number | |
| 01:53 | of shell casings at crime scenes. | |
| 01:56 | The average of six in 2011 increased to twelve in 2018. | |
| 02:00 | Which is a doubling. | |
| 02:03 | The survey of injured victims shows that | |
| 02:06 | gunshot wounds have increased from four in 2011 | |
| 02:11 | to eleven gunshot wounds per case in 2018. | |
| 02:15 | In Norsborg [Stockholm], a 12-year-old girl was shot to death. | |
| 02:20 | A large number of shots were fired towards suspected gang rivals, | |
| 02:24 | but the girl was caught in the crossfire. | |
| 02:27 | The risk to the public is obviously increasing, | |
| 02:30 | because it’s about the use of automatic weapons. They are harder to control | |
| 02:35 | and the shooters aren’t equally used to handling such types of weapons. | |
| 02:38 | But the location is also relevant. We notice that they happen more often in public spaces, | |
| 02:43 | and in residential areas. This subjects the public to a higher risk. | |
| 02:47 | The preliminary analysis examines 2019 and 2020. | |
| 02:52 | The trend towards the use of automatic weapons is pervasive. | |
| 02:55 | The murder of the girl in Norsborg is classified as drive-by-shooting style, | |
| 03:00 | which is carried out from, for example, a moving car. | |
| 03:04 | We have not checked it from that perspective. | |
| 03:08 | Also, it depends on how you’d define a drive-by shooting. | |
| 03:11 | It could be a car in movement shooting at a stationary target, | |
| 03:16 | for example a standing person or a parked car. | |
| 03:20 | If this is the definition, I have seen four such cases. | |
| 03:23 | All of them happened during the last four years. | |
| 03:27 | A dead person was found in the early morning in Fittja, Botkyrka [Stockholm], | |
| 03:31 | in a burned car driven into the water. | |
| 03:34 | During the day the forensic techs began investigating the crime scene, | |
| 03:38 | and a preliminary investigation of murder has also begun. | |
| 03:41 | This happened only five days after the 12-year-old girl was shot dead in Botkyrka. | |
| 03:45 | The local residents are feeling insecure. |
