Heavily pregnant Therese Johaug found herself in the middle of the action. The Norwegian skiing icon was in a shopping mall in Oslo when a shot was fired. I was sitting there with tears in my eyes and I was scared to death, she says in her podcast.

It was on Monday, December 8, that a person fired a shot inside a shopping mall in the Norwegian capital. The facility was evacuated, but no one was injured.

One of those who had to leave the shopping center was skiing legend Therese Johaug, she says in her podcast "Johaug og Gukild".

"They closed the entire clinic and everyone in the center had to go out. It was complete chaos. After a while, someone was very kind and walked me back to the car, because I was so scared," she says.

Johaug describes the incident as a nightmare.

You are caught in bed and don't know how to react. You think back and think of Utøya. Those are the worst thoughts that pop into your head.

A 19-year-old man has been arrested after firing the shot.
