Theory: Therefore, the act of violence occurs in hairdressing salons

It was on Tuesday afternoon that the police were alerted that there was a firing at a hairdressing salon in central Uppsala. In the room were found then three young people who were shot to death.

When DN’s reporter on site on Wednesday talks to Uppsalabor about the brutal act, many wonder why the shooting occurred at just a hairdressing salon. At the same time, some have argued that it is far from the first violence event that has occurred at a hairdresser.

2021 shot two people a man to death when he Early in the afternoon sat in a hairdressing chair and was cut in Högsbo in Gothenburg. The police then found that it was clear that the perpetrators did not care that others in the salon could have met by the bullets.

Last fall, a young man shot several shots through the shop window to a hairdressing salon in central Uppsala. The deed occurred during the day when there were plenty of people moving around the place.

As late as November last year became one hairdressing salon in Sätra Centrum in southern Stockholm shot with a large number of shots. Several people, both employees and customers, were then in the premises. Two men met and injured.

Slides are often done In the protection of the darkness, but an eerie circumstance when it comes to shootings against hairdressers is that there are several examples of the fact that they occurred in the middle of the day.

According to Jale Poljarevius, police chief and intelligence manager at the police region, there may be an explanation for the fact that there are shootings with hairdressers to be a place where you relax.

– You have the garden down when you sit down in the hairdressing chair and you leave the control to the barber or hairdresser. As soon as you do, you lose your attention to your surroundings. You may think « here nothing can happen », and that’s when it happens, he says, adding that even criminals have to relax sometimes.

According to Jale Poljarevius It may also be important that the hairdressing salon is a social arena where many meet and information is exchanged.

– A hairdressing salon is so much more than a place where you cut or get the beard employed. It is just as much about communication, gossip and discussions about just about everything. It is an extremely interesting arena that many are certainly drawn to that reason.

Jale Poljarevius believes that the large flow of visitors can also mean that malicious individuals allow people with violence capital to know that a wanted target is at the salon at the moment.
