HELSINKI (AP) — Police suspect an apartment building explosion in Sweden’s second-largest city might have been caused by a device of some kind. The explosion took place just before 5 a.m. Tuesday in central Goteborg. A hospital spokesperson said 16 people were brought in for treatment, including four with serious injuries. A police spokesperson tells Swedish broadcaster TV4 that investigators think foul play may have been involved. They suspect someone put a device in or outside the building. Police are looking into whether any tenants were being targeted. A building resident told the daily newspaper Goteborg Tidning Hulten he saw desperate people who “hung from balconies, climbing over balconies. There was one who fell.”
