   Truck plows into crowd inside Swedish shopping center killing at least 2   
      
      
   DEVELOPING –  A truck as has driven into a crowd at a shopping center in   
   central Stockholm, killing at least two people and injuring several, Swedish   
   police said.   
      
   Swedish security services confirmed that at least 2 people were killed in what   
   they said is believed to be a deliberate attack, according to Sky News.   
      
   Police confirmed that a lorry ran over a crowd at Ahlens city (department   
   store) and that people were injured.   
      
   Spokeswoman Towe Hagg would not confirm the deaths or reports of shots fired.   
      
   "There are injured people but we have no further details on the extent of   
   their injuries and the number of people injured," police said in a statement   
   on its website.   
      
   People in the area are fleeing the scene.   
      
   A witness said the truck came out of nowhere, Sky News reported.   
      
   “I went to the main street when a big truck came out of nowhere. I could not   
   see if anyone was driving it but it got out of control,” the person said.   
   “I saw at least two being run over. I ran as fast as I could from there".   
      
   The Swedish news agency TT said several people have been rushed away in   
   ambulances, and live television footage showed smoke coming out of the   
   department store that the truck smashed into   
      
   A witness told TT news agency: “I also saw people with blankets over them,"   
   he said. "The whole body was covered."   
      
   Europe has reeled from a string of terror attacks involving drivers ramming   
   trucks into populated areas. In July 2016, a truck plowed into a crowd at a   
   waterfront promenade in the French tourist hotspot of Nice, killing 86 people.   
   Police killed the    
   driver, Mohamed Lahouiaej Bouhlel. The Islamic State terror group claimed   
   responsibility.   
      
   Just over two weeks ago in London, a driver linked to radical Islam crashed   
   his rented SUV into a crowd on Westminster Bridge before attacking an officer   
   on the grounds of Parliament. A fifth victim of his rampage died Friday: a   
   Romanian woman who fell    
   into the river below. Dozens of other people were wounded. The killer, Khalid   
   Masood, was shot dead at Parliament
