Man shot dead at Sweden PM home

A man has been shot dead at the prime minister’s residence in central Stockholm.

The prime minister was not in the building.

Police spokeswoman Toe Hagg would not give details but said “there is nothing that indicates a crime”.

She said the man had “full access” to the location but was not a bodyguard or an employee of the government or Parliament.

Markus Friberg, a spokesman for Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, said: “The prime minister is fine. He was at an external meeting. He wasn’t there.”
