Did you read the article?
Yes, it says crime has decreased over the last 20-25 years.
It also says that over the last few years:
the level [of lethal violence] in 2015 – when a total of 112 cases of lethal violence were reported – was higher than for many years.
lethal violence using firearms has increased within the context of criminal conflicts. The number of confirmed or suspected shootings was 20 per cent higher in 2014 than in 2006. The statistics also show that 17 people were killed with firearms in 2011, while the corresponding figure in 2015 was 33.

The number of confirmed or suspected shootings was 20 per cent higher in 2014 than in 2006 The population of Sweden increased 10.6% during this time period.
