At least two people were killed and eight injured during a shooting at pub in Sweden last night . Automatic weapons are believed to have been used in the attack yesterday during the screening of a football match in Biskopsgarden , a suburb of Gothenburg with a history of gang violence . Detectives said it was too early to speculate on the motive behind the shooting - which happened at about 10.20pm local time ( 9.20pm GMT ) - but there were indications that it was gang-related . Two dead and eight injured : The shooting took place inside a pub called ‘ Var Krog och Bar ’ ( Our Tavern and Bar ) in Biskopsgarden , a suburb of Gothenburg in Sweden , at about 10.20pm local time yesterday . Police spokesman Ulla Brehm said that at least two people were killed at the scene and several others taken to a hospital , adding : ‘ There is absolutely nothing that indicates terrorism. ’ One witness , who did not wish to be named , told Swedish broadcaster SVT that two men entered the pub and started shooting with automatic weapons . He said : ‘ I did n't have a chance to think about what happened . Then I saw that my friend was bleeding . I tried to stop the bleeding as well as I could with my hand. ’ Several people are now being questioned by police . Ms Brehm said the area on Hisingen , an island off Gothenburg , had seen a lot of gang violence and that was a likely explanation for the shooting . She added : ‘ We have had a targeted police operation in this area because we have gang crime here . There have been shootings in the past. ’ Location : Gothenburg is in south-western Sweden and is the country 's second biggest city ( file picture ) The attack took place inside a restaurant called ‘ Var Krog och Bar ’ ( Our Tavern and Bar ) . It opened in 1995 and also has a sports bar and a nightclub open on Fridays and Saturdays . Gothenburg ( known as 'Goteborg ' in Swedish ) is located in south-western Sweden and is the country 's second biggest city . Police said the death toll from the attack was likely to rise . Ten ambulances were sent to the scene , and the injured are being treated at Sahlgrenska University Hospital - but a spokesman said last night : ‘ We can not say anything. ’ Gun violence is not uncommon in Sweden 's major cities , but shootings in public places with multiple victims are rare . On January 30 a man was wounded in a shooting on the square outside the restaurant , although it was not clear last night whether the shootings were linked .
