During the Monday morning there was one man shot with multiple shots inside a restaurant in Kungens kurva, south of Stockholm.
Ingela and Jan-Erik Nordin were on their way to a store in the area to buy food, when they ended up in the middle of the shooting.
– Everything is so terrible, now I just want to stay at home, Ingela says to TV4 Nyheterna.
The couple tells TV4 Nyheterna that they arrived with the car just as the police arrived at the scene. They parked and were going to go in to shop but then the entrances were closed.
Everything happened very quickly and at first Ingela and Jan-Erik thought it might be a cardiac arrest, but then they were told that there had been a shooting.
– We saw when they ran out with a guy on a stretcher and it was noticeable that it was in a great hurry. I saw that he was awake but thought that he was badly injured because it was in such a hurry.
The nail in the coffin
Ingela and Jan-Erik are noticeably shaken by the incident and say that because there have been so many shootings lately, people get scared. Not least when it happens right when you’re on your way into a store in the middle of the day.
– We have lived here for 68 years but we are going to move from here, says Jan-Erik.
At the end of the interview, Ingela bursts into tears.
– Ugh, it’s hard… it can happen to anyone, it can happen to us, they can shoot wrong. It can happen to children, it can happen to anyone. I think it’s all so terrible, she says.
– Yes, this was the nail in the coffin, adds Jan-Erik.
Heard the shots
TV4 Nyheterna has also spoken to Love Österlund, who heard the shots. He works at the scene where the shooting took place:
– I was standing and working and then I first heard a shot. Then I heard several shots and then I thought “shit, it could be someone who has been shot”, says Love.
After the shooting, Love’s manager gathered all the employees to make sure everyone was okay. Love says he was very scared.
– Should you have to walk around your workplace and be afraid of being shot now, says Love.
A large police resource is working at the scene interviewing witnesses and securing clues, and at the same time a hunt for the perpetrator is underway. The incident is classified as attempted murder.
