Theres definitely been an escalation. Its not the absolute numbers that are the biggest cause of concern (Because they are still relatively low), its the fact that the victims are so extremely young and sometimes not even involved in criminality. Its a trend i've read about in The Netherlands and Belgium (Antwerp) as well, where the big players are located outside of Sweden, so rival gangs attack their family members.
Our police chief called it acts of terror and says that no other country in Western Europe currently sees this kind of gang-violence. Its really sad and embarrasing for Sweden.
Just in September alone there have been atleast 10 residential-bombings and 15 or so murders (11 of them linked to "gangs")
Some examples of recent happenings with young or non-intended victims:
2023-07-29 & 2023-08-18 Stockholm
Two 14-year old boys are found murdered.
2023-09-07 Uppsala

A young man is shot to death outside of his apartment. Police believe he was not the intended target and completely innocent.
