Stockholm Shooting

Swedish rapper Einar, who won awards and topped charts in the Scandinavian country, was shot and killed late Thursday in Stockholm, police and media said as police hunted for suspects.

A nearly week-long spate of rioting spread outside Stockholm on Friday but authorities said police reinforcements sent to the Swedish capital had reduced the violence there, even though dozens of youths set cars and a recycling station ablaze.

A man was found dead inside Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt's central Stockholm home on Friday, police said, after media reports that he was a security guard who had killed himself.
