Three people were killed in a shooting in the Swedish city of Uppsala on Tuesday and a murder investigation has been launched, police said, Reuters reported.

Police said it was investigating the shooting as a homicide and that it had no information about the incident being a terror or hate crime at this point.

"We have information that a person left the scene on an electric scooter," a police spokesperson told Reuters. "Whether this person is a perpetrator or a witness, or someone who has some connection to the incident, it is unclear at this time."

Police said the victims were yet to be identified and declined to speculate on the motive for the killings, according to Reuters.

As Kyiv and Washington work on a deal that will give the U.S. a share of Ukraine's mineral wealth, Ukrainians who live with seams of iron beneath their feet have a message for Donald Trump: don't take advantage of us, these resources are ours, Reuters reported.

The U.S. president has put pressure on Kyiv by threatening to stop the flow of military supplies to help it fight Russia's invasion unless the U.S. gets some payback for the billions of dollars the aid is costing.

But the deal is sensitive for Ukraine, which has a proud history of mining coal and iron ore and hopes to exploit seams of increasingly sought-after rare earths. Mineral revenues are a crucial pillar of the state budget.

In the city of Kryvyi Rih, on whose outskirts open-cast iron ore mines have gouged huge craters in the landscape, 71-year-old pensioner Oleksandr had little time for Trump: "You can't trust that ginger guy, he's not that kind of person," according to Reuters.

More than 50,000 Los Angeles County workers began a two-day strike Monday evening, protesting stalled contract talks and alleged labor violations. Represented by SEIU Local 721, the workers include health staff, social workers, and clerical employees.

This is the union's first full-member strike since its contract expired in March. The union claims 44 labor-law infractions, including retaliation and outsourcing, as stated by Associated Press.

The strike is causing disruptions at libraries, clinics, public facilities, and administrative offices. County officials cite budgetary constraints, including a $4bn abuse settlement and wildfire-related expenses. The strike will continue until Wednesday.

A truck struck an improvised explosive device (IED) in Borno State, northeastern Nigeria, on Monday, close to the Cameroonian border, killing at least 26 persons, including women and children, Al Jazeera reported.

Six children, four women, and sixteen adults were among the dead, according to a military source, while three more people suffered serious injuries. The region has long suffered from attacks by armed groups such as Boko Haram and the ISIL-affiliated Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP).

The International NGO Safety Organization said in a memo that the explosion happened on the route between Rann and Gamboru Ngala. A local resident who lost his mother in the attack accused Boko Haram, although no group has taken credit, according to Al Jazeera.

Borno State police have not yet responded to the incident.
