Katharina and Yukako Nahlbom had visited the pub on Thursday night but left, two hours before the shooting took place.
– You should be able to go to a pub and it should be safe and secure, says Katharina Nahlbom.
Mari Altskog and Jan Ohlander have sat down in a restaurant across the street from the cordoned off pub. They say they are not intimidated by the incident and intend to go there when the pub reopens.
– Everyone is probably half in shock, says Jan Ohlander.
The police also showed their presence in central Sandviken, with several police cars circulating but also by having a mobile police office in place in the center.
The police: Have made a seizure
No one has yet been arrested, but the police are interviewing witnesses and knocking on doors.
– We have made a seizure but do not want to go into exactly what it is about, says police spokesperson Tobias Ahlén-Svalbro.
