STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- A police spokesman says surveillance camera footage could help police apprehend a man who opened fire outside a casino and wounded a security guard and two women.

Police spokesman Bjorn Engstrom says experts are analyzing photos from the casino and Stockholm Public Transport.

The shooter had been turned away from the Casino Cosmopol and returned with a gun and started shooting just before midnight Saturday.

The guard, who wore a bulletproof vest, was shot in the stomach, police said. One woman was hit in the left knee, and the other had one of her arms wounded. All three were taken to a hospital for treatment and were later questioned by police.
