actually in that article from Reuters it says there were 62 deadly shootings in Sweden in the year.

Which is hilarious because it also says there are 62000 gang linked people in Stockholm.

One thing you are always told to watch out for is big round numbers in stats, because it is pretty unlikely it is just 62000 and not 62119 or something (not a big stats guy, just something I've read)

At any rate the article says 62000 linked to gangs, and 62 killings (pretty weird that). So a 0.1% violence among the linked to gangs people (if all the murders were linked to gangs), but out of the full pop of Sweden 10,490,000 this is a 0.000591% rate of murder, the U.S as a whole has 0.0075 murder rate right now.

Zoom in on parts of the U.S you get a much higher murder rate - https://usafacts.org/articles/which-cities-have-the-highest-...

like I said everything is relative, and Sweden does not have as big a problem as the reporting lets on.
