Police are present at several locations in Holbæk after a shooting where several people have been hit. This is reported by Midt- og Vestsjællands Politi on Politi Update.

Right now, the police cannot provide information on the condition of those hit.

- It is the police's assumption that this involves a conflict in the criminal environment, the police district states in the authority announcement.

The police received a report of the shooting, which occurred in the Agervang housing area, at approximately 3:45 PM.

- According to preliminary information, the perpetrators have driven from the scene in a white car, the police write.

The police would like to hear from people who have photos or video from the scene. The same applies if you have seen people or vehicles disappear from the scene. In that case, please contact the police at 114.

On Facebook, Holbæk's mayor, Christina Krzyrosiak Hansen (S), writes that she is angry about the shooting incident and has been in contact with the Minister of Justice.

- The police assume that this involves a conflict in the criminal environment, and I have no words for how angry it makes me that hardened criminals should endanger others' safety. I take that very seriously, she writes.

The mayor adds that she is following the case closely.
