- Police shoot student at Swedish college (26 Jan 10)
No one had been arrested by Tuesday morning with several police units deployed in the hunt for the gunman or gunmen.
"The injured man does not want to talk to us, so we do not have that much to go on," Hellström said.
The man has informed police that there were no witnesses to the shooting.
The man was shot in a stairwell on Götgatan, a main nightlife and shopping thoroughfare bisecting the city's south island, Södermalm.
The incident has been classified by police as attempted murder with an alternative charge of aggravated assault.
