STOCKHOLM (AP) — Gunmen shot and killed Swedish soccer player Eddie Moussa as well as another man early Thursday in southern Sweden, according to police and the player’s club Assyriska.
The 26-year-old striker for the second-tier club was shot at a place used for card games in the Ronna area of Sodertalje, about 18 miles south of Stockholm. The other man had not yet been identified to the media. A third man was injured and is in stable condition.
Police are searching for two or three gunmen who escaped from the scene on a scooter, which later was found burning nearby. No suspects have yet been identified, police spokeswoman Bjorn Engstrom said.
Assyriska said the planned game against Angelholm FF on Thursday has been postponed.
