Sweden gangs: PM summons army chief after surge in killings

Sweden’s prime minister has summoned the head of the armed forces to help curb a surge in gang killings.

The two men and the country’s police chief will meet on Friday to discuss what role the military could play.

It comes after a bloody 12 hours that saw two men shot dead in Stockholm and a 25-year-old woman killed in a blast at home in a town north of the capital.

“We will hunt the gangs down and we will defeat them,” PM Ulf Kristersson promised in a rare televised address.
