Police officer injured in Uppsala shooting exercise; ammunition use paused

A police officer was injured during a shooting exercise in Uppsala last week, prompting a temporary halt on the use of the involved ammunition. The officer was taken to hospital for checks, with injuries assessed as minor. The incident occurred last Thursday while ammunition was being handled, according to police confirmation to Aftonbladet. A workplace accident report has been filed with the Swedish Work Environment Authority, and a report regarding endangerment has been sent to the Special Prosecutor’s Office. It remains unclear what exactly caused the accident or if any person is suspected of a crime. Police have decided to withdraw the specific ammunition from use until the cause is determined.
