The police statement also said the remaining injured included a 15-year-old male teenager, a man and a woman between the ages of 45 and 65.
Two men were arrested after a chase that lasted about an hour after the shooting. Police are investigating the case as murder and attempted murder.
On June 9, three other people were also injured in two separate shootings in the Stockholm area.
